Hi Shane,
Going straight from a 250 to a Busa ... well, yes - it will be big change, but IMHO (in my humble opinion) the change from a 250 to a 600 is going to be nearly as mind blowing. Getting 100-120 hp or 175 doesn't really make that much of a difference when you are used to less than 1/3 !
Getting my license in Denmark (back when no 250 restrictions applied), I started on a Yamaha Virago 1000 (the day I got my license), after which I went straight on to a Blackbird (in Perth). Currently, I am on a busa. Every time I have been off the bike for a while or get a new one I get shocked: nothing prepares you for the power !
You mention that you race your car - don't let that cheat you. Racing a car is NOT the same as caning a bike ! With that said, I recommend that you go for the busa if you trust yourself not to run amok until you know the bike.
If it's a busa you want, it's a busa you want (and you won't be happy with anything else).
