I just went through this scenario. My younger son, TJ, got the 250 last spring. He rode it for a few months and then sold it. He then rode my 750 from last summer until last month. He is now riding a GSXR 1000 and loves it.

Althought he is only 16 he has been riding for 13 years. I have to add that he can only ride it while I am riding with him (on my 750). The bike is wonderful and handles like a dream. Yes it has a bit more power than he needs however, you don't have to use that power while riding on the street. Once I feel more comfortable with him understanding it is a deadly weapon I will let him go out on his own. He really wants a 600 but I think the 1000 will make him respect the power of todays bikes more. Then he can move down to a 600 and ride the wheels off it (at the track).
