R1 or R6???

Hi im a new rider, on a 250 moving wanting more power. some say i should stick to a 600 like an r6 while others say just save the money and just jump straight up to a 1000 as a 250 rider, should i stick to a 600 till i get used to the power or just go straight to an R1?

Depends on your maturity. If you won't be grabing gobs of throttle right off the bat then get what you want. You can kill yourself in a heartbeat on either bike. But either bike will only do what you tell it to. In terms of weight and what not there's not much difference. IN terms of power, the R1 has alot more of course, but it's your hand that controls it. I guess the question is, do you trust yourself? :)

ya i know. these are teh exact two opinions i have recieved are there any fuel injected R6's?

My feeling exactly :yesnod There is a huge difference in power delivery from a 250 vs. a 600, and a 600 vs. a 1000 :scared Stick with natural progression & get the 600, your posterior will thank you :lol

alright. 600 it is! thanks everyone for your input! because im 20, insurance for me is 6000$! hahaha but i dont care. i love riding more the drinking at the pub. so its worth it

Good answer
