One more suggestion take the MSF course if you haven't. It may save your life and helps prevent developing bad habits. I've been riding since the early 1970s and have had many bikes of different sizes and types and I am having the most fun ever on my 300. It really comes alive above 10k. The 250 is similar.when I first got my 300 I weighed 223 and it can handle it no problem. The jump from a 250 to a liter bike is huge. I ride with a lot of 600 and 1000 bikes and stay with them or gain on them in the turns. Just this sunday I had someone on a liter bike ask me if my Ninja 300 was a thousand I told him 300 and his jaw dropped.
The smaller bike has taught me how to ride better and more efficient. In closing get what you're happy with and ride safe just don't do it too soon.
