Yes, I am a fairly good rider and experienced on the road.
But that said, yes it is a huge jump from 250cc. Knowing the mistakes I've made earlier on on the smaller bikes has taught me to treat this bike with respect. I bought this as my dream bike as the opportunity presented itself, and not so I can race it around town or test the 200mph limit.
Which is why I I'm asking these silly questions. I'm hoping to learn from other people's mistakes with this one, because I know my new baby won't be giving me a second chance!
If there was any more advice i could give u... it would be. Make sure your on a stretch of road that you have checked..ie pot holes, loose gravel, little old ladies.. harley riders. Theres all types of vermin on the roads these days. Keep it safe if you know what i mean.. The gear id recomend,, Assuming.. your skills are above average. would be 3rd.. just open it up and hang on.. OBVIOUSLY make sure the stretch of tarmac is long enough, because youll need time to stop.. and from around the 230klm mark... you will probably get there faster than you can get back.. And Yibbidy Yibbida thats all folks... Hoo-roo from the guru. lol
