Default What bike would you upgrade to?

If you were going to upgrade from the cbr250r/a to a larger bike, what would your upgrade be and why? I'm 6'1", 205 lbs, and been riding 1 year. I'm leaning toward a Kawasaki Ninja 650 or 6R with ABS when I finish paying off this bike. I love the green, and I've always wanted a Ninja since the early 80s. I definitely will need something with a little more go, but I can't decide if I want a sport commuter or supersport. I currently commute daily on the cbr.

CB1100...been waiting for this bike to come stateside for 2 years now! Plan on re-living my motorcycling youth with it lol. NOTHING in the world sounds better than a big inline 4.

IF I had a CBR250, and IF it was my only bike, and I was ready to upgrade to a bigger bike, it would be a Triumph Daytona 675R.
