Take as many as you can for test rides & see for yourself.

While you're at it try a few other bikes too. A 250 to 300 is a very minor step in my opinion, probably not worth it for the hit you'll take financially.
You sound like you want to move up to a 600, so if you end up ragging a 300 for a few months then selling again so what's the point.

Take a look at a few other street bikes too, faired SV650, bandit/hornet/fazer 600, each of them will be a bit more forgiving than a SS600, something like a CBR600F wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Hell if you want something that looks & sounds good look for a Triumph triple.

Spot on.

It's a good little bike in all fairness, great fun to cane it senseless on the twistys, but it has **** roll on capabilities.
