Hey guys, fishing for some advice, and opinions.

I've had my ninja for about a year and a half now and put 21,000 miles on it so far. Crashed three times and am pretty skilled in basic handling of it in my opinion. My question is would the jump to a literbike be too much? I know for sure i could handle/control a 600 supersport. But is the 1000supersport going to be too much power? Will it be not much fun as a 600SS? I enjoy riding with passengers pretty often but 30HP is not enough to take off from stops and accelerate as quickly as i would like two-up.

SO.

baby step to a 600SS?
OR
skip to the 1000SS?

BTW I am not selling my ninja this will be second bike. Would love to hear from those who have had both 600 n 1000 so i know the differences.

I've ridden the zx10r and did not like the low revs it was running too much. Maybe i am just used to the High revving 250...
