You've got some brains, good for you!

If he masters the bike in a month, good for him. He's the best motorcycle rider on the fact of the planet, ever. If you've gotten this far, that he's willing to start on a 250 for a month, I don't think there's really much more you can or should do. I think that after riding a 250 for a month, if he has any sense at all, he'll want to keep riding it rather than buying a new 600 right away. He'll have a month to get over his ego and realize he's not ready.

Plus, he's never ridden a bike. How the hell does he know how they feel, or which feels better? Why would he be willing to place his opinion based on no facts or experience above that of the people on this board, who say that a 250 has a better feel for a beginner?
