Ruh Roh!
so i took my first ride with another person the other day
 its a shame its been two months since i started unfortunately i don't know that many people around here who ride. anyway he just bought a GSXR 750 and traded in his r6. we hit up some of the back roads and had a smoke break or two then we pulled into a food lion parking lot. he told me to get off my bike and to get on his 0.o so i did... I love my 250 to death...but fro some reason i can't stop thinking about wanting to ride that thing again...is this bad, i think i need an intervention...but it had such smooth shifting and was so comfy :O am i bad person for feeling this way?

No, it's common. Think with your head and not what is between your legs (literally). You know when it's time to upgrade and when it's not. [/intervention]

I think just the opposite when I ride a supersport- I say, man, I could get in a lot of trouble on this thing. 10 years after selling mine, I still don't trust myself on the street with one.

see i am not even at all tempted by the power it had, in fact it's weird that what appealed to me were the simple things. A) the riding position was amazing, i was so comfy with the handle bars being down so low. B) it was so smooth, the ride and the shifting. C) gauge cluster was awesome. D) it felt more solid underneath me... i guess the weight. E) built in power commander. I know its a super sport but i could see that being a comfy everyday driver too.
