Thinking of upgrading to a ZX6R or a S1000RR could use some advise.

I totally get where you are coming from and hope I didn't come across as a dick. Going back to the example of my daughter, I would be equally terrified of her getting any size displacement bike if she can't get her temper in check, and I hope that switch from passenger to driver on a motorcycle would give her the focus to mentally chill out. To your point, kids get these large displacement bikes and then decide that they are not only invincible, but the baddest thing on the planet and end up learning the hard way that they are neither of those two, and large displacement bikes are like magnets to that personality. I completely agree with you too, if you can get the 600cc bike and be responsible, then eventually when you feel like it's not a danger, move up to something larger. All good advice and replies here.
Nah i totally got where you were coming from, and yeah, all good advice. I think the winning advice is “go for the features you want regardless of displacement so long as you can exercise self control”
