Yeah I understand how you could become complacent with not shifting a lot, and I don't wanna seem lazy lol I just think it would be nice to not HAVE to shift. That's one thing I envy about the 250 is that you can really wind it out in the city and not be doing insane speeds, Probably what gets you to 35mph on a 250 gets you to 60 on my bike and much much faster on anything bigger. The downfall to that is that when you really need power, on the 250 it might not be there the way you like it (although I understand the 250 is in most cases definitely enough power). Guess I'm gonna have to test ride some 600s to see how they feel, probably similar powerband wise to my bike, just with more overall power which I think is what I'm looking for. The 500 still keeps me happy though, plenty of power for all situations, even does just fine two up
