I know there's another thread with a similar topic, but my question isn't EXACTLY the same. And please, before flaming, I'm not talking about doing this in 3 months, 6 months, or even a year, but possibly summer of 2013. And before anybody says it, I AM enjoying the ride on the 250, I just have financial considerations that must start this year, seeing as how I will not finance a bike, I'll pay cash only.
Several folks vaguely said that if you're "mature" and "respectful" of an inline 4 600cc bike, you can do alright with one after getting the basics down on the 250. I've also heard the same being said of starting with a 600 inline 4, that if you're "mature" and "respectful" of the bike, you'll be alright. I know we have several experienced riders on this forum, so I'm interested in what they would say a good next bike would be, after getting to the point of pushing the 250 to the "legal" limits *snicker*. I'd like to keep the topic flame free, so if someone says "You'd be fine on the 600" don't beat the answer down. I'm looking for viable options for a next bike. And I'm considering all options minus the 1000cc and Ducati's(obviously, I'm not an idiot, hence starting on a 250cc, and trying to keep it below 125Hp).
V-Twin options are (currently) : Yamaha FZ6R, Suzuki SV650SF, Kawasaki Ninja 650R, BMW F800ST(NOT a V-Twin, but an inline-2)
Inline-4 options are (currently) : The Big Four(a.k.a. R6, ZX6R, GSX-R600/750, CBR600RR), Triumph Daytona 675(Inline-3, but moves like a 4)
I only list these because I'm not looking at anything bigger for obvious reasons, and these all have great looks to them(a.k.a. fairings
). They are not the end-all-be-all list of what I'd consider, so make a suggestion if you'd like.
