I don't get this oft-asked question.

I've had a dozen bikes since 1983, starting with a 550 then to an 1100, then a bunch of 600s, a 900 and now my 250.

I don't understand the "big jump" question.

I guess unless you are talking about physical size, seat height, or weight.

Because one thing all the bikes had in common was a throttle. You see, you can make an 1100 go as slow as a 250, and it isn't even difficult. You just twist the throttle less. An 1100 will cruise at 30 mph just as nicely as a 250 does. It'll also do 0-60 in 25 seconds (slower than an old diesel car!), if you'd like.
