Can't imagine doing any serious riding (over 50) on a 250 but it's probably a great around town or learner bike. It's what the wife and I both learned on in the MSF course and actually I wish we had the luxury of being able to tool around on one awhile before we climbed onboard HD softails as our first bikes.

It sucks cuz I sit on all these bikes but won't take them for a ride because I haven't taken my course yet.But EVERYONE is telling me don't start that small cuz I will out grown it fast..But to be honest the bigger ones scare me.And I am trying to do my homework so I am ready to buy when I get my course done..There is just soooo many choices...And yes I am considering a dual sport or small motorcycle.And that is hard to compare cuz they're so different..I would like to ride back roads and small highways for a year or so,get some rides under my belt before I buy my dream "Harley"....Gosh I hate being an adult and making decisions!!!!!!!!

My wife has a vstar 650 it isn't all that powerful and weighs next to nothing. I would start on that. The 250 cc cruisers are terrible. If you have hills you are probably be doing 45 mph tops at the weight you are carrying.
