I was, to put it nicely, advised by my friends to buy a used 600 sports bike versus buying a new 250 because of how quickly I would outgrow the quarter liter; but I decided to listen to others that told me to learn how to corner well with the 250 and upgrade if/when I wanted to. I feel like I can increase my confidence and riding skills much quicker with the 250 since I'm new to motorcycling than starting off on a 600. The shop owner I purchased my 250 also told me that he would buy my bike back next season for most of what I paid for it if I do want to upgrade.
I would be very interested to see how a 300 would differ from a 250...
