What sort of riding have you been doing all these years? Just dirt, or street as well?
A literbike is pretty serious business (esp. that one I’m told). Personally, I’d say it’s too big a jump in performance to go from a 250 to basically a high-end racebike with a license plate. Have you checked insurance rates? IIRC, that particular bike has some of the worst.
Would you consider something mid-level, like maybe a 650 Ninja? Plenty of real-world performance, and with your skills, you’d manage it just fine.
