I sold my wifes Ninja 250 (that she decided she didnt want) after a season of riding for the same price we paid for it minus taxes. I have had very powerful bikes and im the only one that ended up riding hers. Guess what? I actually enjoyed it, I could actually push it just as hard as my 2011 ZX10r in some corners, of course with slower exit speed.
Everyone telling you to get a 250 I feel is a pretty season rider or at least knows a thing or two about bikes. If your worried about someone making fun of you screw them they are probably the one you will see in the news hanging from a power line, or reduced to a pile of goo. No one that has any sense will tell you to go buy a 600 for your first bike, especially a newer one. They are silly powerful!
When I purchased the ZX10r turned off traction and flipped to high power mode I couldnt believe they just sold me that bike not knowing my history at all. Luckily it wasnt my first bike and I knew what it was capable of. I could go on and on sorry...
Bottom line is think hard about this make the RIGHT choice. No one wants to see you get hurt. By the way im 6'0 220lbs. did I look a little funny on the 250 yes, but I rocked it like a champ Lol.
