Easy bro, ask urself, Wat do u want the most. Nice bike within ur budget, killer Ducati looks, v-twin 4 stroke engine, upside down fork. This bike can go 200km/h easy, Wat ? I see a lot of Japanese bikes, but these Korean bike never ceased to amaze me.
Trust ur judgement.

Just go for 650 if ya want. U can learn it all u want when u have the bike with u. Blaze 650 have big horse power for u to handle, the thrill of riding is worth every penny u pay for that bike.
I ride a wave, 125z, Honda NSR, then now, CBR 600R. At first week, cocky and jerking on and off the front brakes. After three weeks on the bike, everything just feel natural.
Honestly, I never ride a 650 twin cylinder b4. But judging on the spec, it shud be fun.

ur cb6 is 100hp, this blade 650r just a 70hp.. blade 650 are comparable to kawa er6s, suzi sv650, and yama xj6.. <80hp range..

cb6, r6, fz6, zx6 <- supersport class already, more than 100hp.

more than a liter bike aye?

175 with 85 can sit any bike. Except, either you are going to tip-toeing or, flat footed on both feet or flat footed on either feet.

Dani Pedrosa is only 5ft 2" (wiki), and he races for Honda motogp team. At the start of a race, he stands on his left foot.

do following check:

1 - can afford monthly?
2 - can afford to maintain?
3 - plan to change in future? less than a year or 2?

then only thing which bike u like and what is ur purpose of buying it. for work only? for work + weekend ride? for work + weekend ride + to track? all this need to take into consideration unless $$ not an issue for u.

just 2 cent

ok. understand. think this way:

1. have cash? - yes.
2. can cash pay down payment?
3. can i afford to pay min 500 a month?

if yes then should go with 600cc?

there are so many option. It is all up to u. If i am on ur shoe, i will go for higher cc provided answer 1-3 is yes.

I start riding kapcai for 6 month (LC135) then upgrade to 1000cc - second hand bike before upgrade with new bike.

think properly..

would like to know your experience, what did you feel when it was your first time riding a superbike.
