Personally for me I am looking at a ninja 650 or SV650 for my next bike. I think it is a good blend between the usability of the 250 and the higher power of SS.
Wow never leaving second gear...I'm always going all the way up to sixth and back down, annoying but now I kind of like it, helped me get experienced with shifting.
