Hey, i own a 2007 Hyobag GT250r and trying to decide on what to upgrade to, thinking bout a kawa ZX6, yama R6 or a SV650. Would the Kawa and Yama be a little to fast coming up from a 250?

Depends on how hard you turn the throttle.......too fast is entirely up to you. The SV can be too fast as well if you want it to be........Originally Posted by Metallica1989

Yeah what he said, will only go as fast as you twist the throttle, test ride and r6, and perhaps an older vfr400 or zxr400....
Not much difference between 250's and 400's to be honest. you would tire of it quickly if you do alot of hooning around, it really depends what kind of rider you are.

600 be fine to upgrade to.
Plenty around to choose from, and all be a huge step up from ya hyosung

Choose which ever one you like the best. They're all good bikes.

I just went from a GT250R to a CBR600RR.
Yes its scary at first, but you get used to it really fast.
I test rode a CBR, Daytona 675 and an old zx-6r.
The daytona was the most fun bike of them all, but the sitting position is way too racy for me so I went for the second best - CBR.
Make sure you test ride as many bikes as you can before making your decision.
Definitely give the Daytona a try, they are heavily discounted right now.

Its a whole world different. But if you have developed good skills on your 250, going to the 600
should not be a problem only a big step up in the fun factor
. However do take it easy where you first roll on the throttle. I suggest you find a nice straight road and slowly get used to it. I rode my Yamaha R6 like my old 250 when I first got it and found that I had to be very careful accelerating especially coming out of a corner and passing
. You will get used to it reasonably quickly as to what it can do and from then on it is a whole lot of fun.
I may be slow at getting things but..... no wait I'm just slow.

Test ride as many as you can.......but i like the 675 Daytona.

Mate I went from a 150 single to a 600. You'll be fine.
Even so, the power has never overwhelmed. The weight difference was a bit to get used to though!!

The GT250R weighs about the same as a modern 600. My honda actually feels lighter.
EDIT:
GT250R dry 168
CBR with fluids and petrol 184
Has left the building
Both are excellent bikes but do try out a Daytona 675 as well.
More "rideable" on the road espeiall if there'll some commuting invloved.
We have a demo here,try it.

Yeah, he'll be fine, but for me it was going from an FXR150 at 118kg dry to a ZX-6R (99) at 185kg dry.

You know when you are giving the 250 a bit of stick - you use full throttle and it goes fast - the 600/650 with the same throttle action will probably pull a big mono
I've a sweet spot for the SV650 - nice all rounder that will make a acceptable weekend scratcher.
250-600 is a fine jump. The old 400cc class is gone. Once you used to progress from 250-400-750-900/1000.
I do remember years ago a friend describing his 1000 as a 'lazy mans 750' - not much more power just less gear changes. Still applies in many cases.
