One thing to remember about a larger bike is that most insurance companies
make a distinction between bikes smaller than 750 so insurance will be
quite a bit cheaper.  You might want to talk to insurance rep about it.
                
P.S.  I am not anti-big bike.  Believe me, I would never go back to my 440
      Kawasaki after moving up but I am glad that I started with it.

Concerning a used bike vs a new bike, as one of the other bikers said on
net.cycle the glut of midsized bikes has brought their prices way down so
buying a new bike makes more sense than when I started out.  Let us know
how it goes.
