Yes, and that's true. You had already taken the course at PRS and you started off on a 250cc. I got the impression based on your posts you were comfortable enough to write off a 125cc. With the amount of time and effort they put you through on a 250cc, it's ample enough for you to move on up to a bigger bike, be it a status quo 250, 400, 500, or 600cc. Heck, if you're brave enough (not you per se) go for a litre bike.
What it boils down to is your personal comfort level. I haven't been keeping up with the thread as much as you other guys have but if
gdoh and other members haven't taken the course yet or are still in the middle of the course, they can make up their minds as to whats best for them later on. We can't decide for them what works best for them. It is their onus to make that decision. Remember - we were all at one point in the same spot as him. Look at where we are now.
In your case, you started out with a 250cc at PRS. Picking up a 125cc was not what I would personally suggest. It's a kick to the balls. But if you personally weren't comfortable going to a 600cc, then that's fine too. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. You would have realized very soon that you would outgrow the capabilities of your 125cc
based on your needs and go through the perils of selling it to some noob while trying to find another bike. And why did I recommend a 600cc to you personally? As Alphamale pointed out, there is a lack of 400 to 500cc bikes. Are there more 600cc bikes? Sure as hell there are. We don't know what
gdoh is going to do. Whether it's touring, getting from A to B or carving canyons and twisties. For me - I'm just a fucking Starbucks poseur.
Let's all hug and kiss one another at the next meet (that's if we even have one) and maybe even a circle jerk. I love you all.
