Wow I've got way more responses than I could have expected, so for that thanks!

I will try to generally answer some of the questions posted.

Yes I still have more to do on this bike and plan on it before I were to move up. I ride it every day even today...even though it sucked and was raining. Im trying to get all the experience I can.

I plan on taking MSF in a couple months.

I like the 250 dont get me wrong.
Heres my gripes:
Legs are cramped, for me to have my foot in a position where I can immediately hit the back brake is extremely uncomfortable.

The bike feels extremely light, and it seems a little awkward for my body mass. which also has its positives, such as flickability (which I love) But in that crosswind, alot is to be desired.

The get up and go feels too mild for when I need it to in higher gears (5,6)

Thats it.

The reason i'm mainly interested in supersports at this time is the riding position. Currently am using aftermarket clip ons which place me in a very supersport-esque riding position and I really like it, I feel like I have much more control. No im not going to be doing wheelies in 3rd gear and flying down the interstate at 150, but I wouldnt mind having the ability to get up and go if i need to get out of trouble.
