Kawasaki did a BRILLIANT thing when they made the 250 look more like the 600. The new 250 takes the "looks" argument and throws it out of the window.
I was looking to go after a 250 or 500 as a starter bike but i fell to the argument of a 600. I would say that its more the style of 600 that affects things. Yes a supersport 600 will not hesitate to hurt and theres so many people I know here with a 6 SS and it bites them in the ***
I will say that something like the Katana 600 or if you step down a bit farther a Yamaha SecaII 600 can be great bikes to start out on. To be honest I find the katana 600 to be a very forgiving girl. The power dosent come on instantly so if you decide to yank too much she gives you a second to realize what youve done.
So thats where I stand. It depends on the 600 as to what your getting yourself into. And for most people.. the 250/500 is a much better choice. Simply for this one reason. They are considerbly more upright and make learning basics that much easier to accomplish (side to the dualsports)
BTW kweef you will be scared at first and your speed will pick up... and up... and up... and up. So throw the logic that youll take it easy out of the window.
