I have some time on a 750, But that was 4 years ago, I'm looking to buy a YZF600R, I do need to learn some more. Am I biting off more then I can chew. The 750 was also a sport bike, (Katana)

I think the YZF600 (Thundercat) is a good bike to get back into riding on. It has much better ergos and low end torque than an R6 or the other supersports. It might have as much on the top end, but the power band is much more linear and predictible. You won't accidently twist your wrist too much and find out you have to hand on for dear life all of a sudden. Get a used one, ride it for a year, sell it for pretty much what you paid, and get something even "cooler".

My first bike was an FZR600, same bike almost, just a little older. The throttle has an infinate amount of points you can go on it, you dont have to go full throttle all the time... These Yamahas are great to learn on because they have been around forever. Go and ride it in a parking lot, but id say you can do it with time on a heavier 750.

You will be alright as long as you don't think you have mastered the bike. When you think like that is when it will kick your,you know what.I have ridden most of my life, but have never mastered one .My last one was a 1997 Yamaha Venture Royal 1300 full dress and I only weighed 160 pounds.

No way, a 600 will be just fine. It's powerful, but not too bad. And a 250 would be way too small too fast.

It shouldn't be too much but consider taking a refresher course before riding!
