Might be more fun to go to 600, then 750 later, something to look forward to. Knowwadimsayin?
Upgrading from 250 cc to a 600 or 750...

The people telling you there's very little difference have never ridden these bikes. Trust me, the difference is big.
The only debatable part here is the fact that you're coming from a 250, so if you get a 600cc even that will be a HUUUGE upgrade in power for you. So if you jump on the 600 without trying a 750, you won't know what you're missing and ignorance is bliss. You can ride the 600 for a while and then look forward to upgrading to a 750 or a 1k in the future.
Another great post from Pegassus.

Woah..750HP on a 400lb bike..that's crazytalk LOL
But I agree with mmmnaked, I am only telling you what a GSXR 600 owner has told me. To find out for yourself, test ride both of the bikes then you'll see what you really want.
my mistake, I was under the impression that you could get a fair bit of power out of intakes and exhausts to make up the difference
You might get 5-10hp, which isn't nearly enough to match a GSXR750 and to top it off, that extra power you gained is all at the peak, and at the possible expense of valuable midrange.

It's a common mistake. The upgrades you refer to just allow the engine to work as designed before the noise and pollution laws attack it. Better throttle response with mildly improved power throughout the rev range with a smoothed out fuel curve. The difference is usually very much worth it once you try it.

i've had a 600 and a 750.
the power difference is noticably significant. think of the 750 as a weak 1000, rather than a beefy 600.
handling and everything else is pretty much the same. but the extra power means that you have to be more careful with the throttle on the 750 (it may feel more twitchy)
coming from a 250, with either bike there'll be an adjustment period. but i'd suggest the 600 over the 750.

FYI -- In 2010 the gsxr 750 was not available in the US.
"American Suzuki surprised the industry last year by deciding not to import 2010 streetbikes while it tried to clear inventory in a depressed market. But for 2011, it’s rebounding in a big way with the introduction of a comprehensively reworked GSX-R600 and its identical-twin brother, the GSX-R750."

i was riding a GT250R until last year. this year, i have a 750. its an OLD 750 though. so probably not a good comparison. but i dont have any problems on it. if u r looking for a modern SS bike, a 600 should be more than enough.
