Concentrate on your riding technique. That way, once you can match them in displacement, you'll overwhelm them with skill. :thumbup

Nice bike mate. some good fun to be had on the 2 stroke screamers, and starting small and building up best way to learn riding skills in my opinion.
When i was on a restricted licence i had a cbr 400, think they are good 1st big bikes because they are restricted to 33bhp (the old limit) as standard so no messing about with paperwork for insurance and its only one plug behind the dash to unleash the 60bhp that was intended :thumbup also on twisties it will embarrass almost any bike, i would often have 600's and 1000's come flying past me on a straight only to get overtaken on the next set of corners.

Wouldn't mind an old Japanese 400 but i'm not too keen on their looks. They look to squared off and i'm not too keen on the circular headlights although they are good performers, sound great and produce enough power to keep me happy

Def agree they are starting to show there age a bit,I have seen a few about with the 600 fairing on that don't look too bad. Other than that rs250 or supermoto maybe?
