From a 250 to a 1300 IS a big jump, too big for some but it can & has been done.
To put it into perspective it's like jumping out of a Volksy into a Ferrari F40. That Hayabusa has more power in ONE cylinder than your average 250 fourstroke has in total.
The key to survival is attitude. A lot of busa riders come to grief because they can't stop it & run off corners. It takes a lot of practice to get your eye in & get your braking points right. Give the bike the respect that it deserves, take a cautious approach & you should be ok.
