well - i have been taking my time, asking TONS of questions, including at different dealers. basically, i think that the 750 would be a big step, although i was originally told to buy at 750 from the start. now, i am thinking and asking more and more questions which leads me to believe that a 750 would or could be outgrown within a year. now, i am looking at the 1100 series. yamaha has the vstar - classic and custom. at this point, i'm now looking at that line since the weight between the 750 to the 1100 is minor. one big thing about the yamaha is the oil changes are a bear and all forums say to put a kit on to make the changes easier. otherwise, i figure that there is a much longer period of time before i need to move up. besides the above, i would like to take a passenger and was told the 1100 would handle the passenger much better then the 750.

i am just writing my thoughts for now and will keep all posted. if there are any suggestion - pro or con, please let me know.

also, i will want to sell my 250 in the spring - it has about 3500 it's an '01 and rides like a dream if anyone knows someone looking for this bike.... let me know. it's inspected in PA and good until 10/07. i live just north of Philly near montgomerville.
