A fuel injected motor doesn't have some of the issues of carbs at altitude, so if you want to stick with some thing safer in terms of your willpower, maybe just upgrade to the 300.

Or something a bit more practical, but without the crazy HP of a full out SS, like an SV-650, Ninja 650, CBR500......

My street bike is a CBR 600, and she can get ya in trouble real quick if you don't use the throttle and brakes judiciously (I can do almost 65 mph in first gear....). There's a reason I race, legally, on the track. It keeps me from getting too crazy on the streets, and gives both a good outlet, and more importantly, a place to practice the skills and get the feel of what real speed feels like.

Looks like a fun road, though.
