That's freakin ridiculous. I've been riding dirt bikes (often on streets) for longer than sportbikes and they're similar enough to transfer skills. They do have significantly different ergonomics, but they work mostly the same way. Pretty much the only differences between 250 and 600 cc sportbikes are the weight and power.

I'm thinking after he rides the 250, he'll realize he doesn't yet belong on a 600.
