I thought about a duc m600/600ss but figured they're the same size and stuff as the 750, only the engines a little bigger allowing it to grow with me as i get better / more confident on it.

Besides, all the smaller bikes (400/600 jap bikes) seem to be way more powerful than a 750ss anyways. Is it a weight thing? the 750's are much heavier therefore more difficult to ride as opposed to a power thing?

Anyway, i've got my 500 training next weekend on little cb500s so i'll see how that goes and take it from there i think.

In that case - go for the 750SS. I'm 28 as well and the self-control has kicked in this days - somewhat. Could be having kids too ...

Depending on your weight\size (no dig intended) I would also consider a 900SS if you are looking for a bike that you're going to keep for a few years.
