It such a huge power range diffrence between the 250-600. I learned on a 250 and had to relearn to ride on 600. Counter steering, balance issues are gona be same if your ride 250 or a 600. I just would not bother with a 250. If you hike and chicks on 250 its gay. A 250 is like a fucken moped on steriods, ghey........... Just buy a easy to learn to ride 600, like a Honda CBR, make sure to get framesliders and good riding gear you should be fine. Cali has some killer places to ride espcially flat land everyone comes to fresno to ride........ like in the movie Biker boys <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
