I think you could use a SS fine for commuting/fun but I don't think it would be the best choice, but I do know people that do that. It should be able to handle the street roads fine but you will probably never leave second gear. Also I believe some of the SS lack a bit of response in the lower rpm range but I may be wrong. Personally for me I am looking at a ninja 650 or SV650 for my next bike. I think it is a good blend between the usability of the 250 and the higher power of SS.
