I think it promotes good habits in just about every riding skill, save for one: smooth throttle control. A rider can get away with doing just about anything silly on a 250 (or 300) throttle, without causing much harm. When jumping to a more powerful machine, not being smooth with the throttle can in fact cause much harm quite quickly (lifting the front, spinning the rear, locking the rear by rolling off, etc.). It's good to keep in the back of ones mind when they do hop onto a more full-powered sportbike for the first time.
