It just occurred to me that if you're thinking of a "pregen" 250, which includes the models up to and including 2007, the stock suspension springs are too weak for you. My stock 2005 bottomed out at the rear on modest bumps, and the front would bottom out on hard braking. I installed a "newgen" rear spring and got a pair of Sonic brand front springs, and that solved the problem. The rear spring was from eBay and was dirt cheap. The Sonic front springs were just under $100 with shipping. There are other solutions, but this should give you an idea of what to expect.
Others can comment on newgen suspension and whether it is set up to carry 300 lbs. This problem is not limited to 250s either. With any motorcycle or scooter you buy, you should be aware that you may have to adjust or mildly modify it if you think you'll be staying around your current weight, if you want reasonable suspension performance.
