Alright here is a little background, I

 

You'll probably be okay. Take a beginner MSF class if you haven't already. You HAVE to practice emergency braking until your instincts are correct (e.g. if you lock the rear, keep it locked). Between that and being gentle opening the throttle you'll be as good-to-go as on a smaller bike.

 

^^ . Take classes and ride within your limits.

 

600->750 - not a big difference. Besides, its rider skill and hubris that makes the difference, not engine size.

 

you should be ok, but i do recommend the safety course as well as they will teach you all sorts of rediculous stuff you normally wouldnt think about. 750 just has more torque,.......750 vs 600 isnt a big enough difference to be worried about since you made the sport bike jump to start,...maybe you shoulda bought a cruiser, maybe not. i sure wouldnt have either. just avoid traffic and busy areas until you are comfortable.........ride around the block and empty parking lots till it feels like second nature.

 

and dont be a "Squid".......ride in your protective gear ALL the time. my old roommate was a new rider,......had about 6 months under HER belt and went down going 80 on the freeway last week. car moved over and she went down,...broken arm, broken foot, broken hand, broken ankle and tons of rash......no protective gear except jeans and "stunter" vest

 

I started on a 700cc when I was 23. (Been riding for 23 years now.) If you respect the bike, take the MSF course and wear the gear, you'll do fine. You can kill yourself on a 250 just as easily as a 750.

 

no speeding tickets... dont get up set if you get one on the bike. your making it sound like your not an aggressive driver you will be fine on the bike.

the msf course is a starting point.
-find some text; "twist of the wrist2" but i think there are better publications out there.
-search out a local club track and do some cornering at a race event or two.
-when you feel comfortable buy some test tune time, when the track is not busy.

get some gear and put some sliders on the bike asap.

 

I really appreciate all the feedback... I was really beginning to think that I was in over my head! The bike comes in tomorrow, and it has a spot reserved in my bros garage will it will stay for some time. I will definitely take the MSF before riding. I have heard WAY too many horror stories about people going down w/out any protective gear, so that's a much MUST have.... I live in a really good sized neighborhood hood so I will get plenty of practice. I can

 

You are.

Things happen REAL fast on bikes.

Be careful.
