it's the INTERNAL size of the motor, not the external size. There are radical differences in height, width, weight between all motorcycles regardless of engine CC's

Okey dokey!
Until recently, the only seat I ever took was bitch. That always feels the same: f-in' uncomfortable!
I've only taken driver's seat on a few bikes, so I can only speak from experience about those. '05 cbr 1000, I can touch my tippy toes to the ground, but the weight of it was a little too much for me to manhandle with ease. An r6 (not sure what year), feet on the ground, but still not light enough to throw around. the pit bike in my pictures- PERFECT!
The point is: Like with driving, to me it isn't about how it looks or how fast it goes, but how comfortable I feel in control of it. I like vettes not because of their social status or price tag, but because it's the safest I've ever felt driving a car. The control i had was amazing, even at high speeds. Getting a bike will be the same, if I feel more comfortable on one particular 1k than I do on a 250, I'll buy the 1k hands down. I doubt that will happen, though, but we'll see. I don't want the temptation of too much power before I learn control.
