If you were to remove that much, you'd never get the geometry correct IMO, plus some of the tubing you'd need to replace would be difficult to duplicate because of its shape and difficult to weld and splice properly because of its location.

Which are you more worried about, geometry or metallurgy? It's just a 250, if it were mine i'd probably just bend it and then weld some splints on it or something. It looks to me like it's just stuck together to hold the bike together and would be strong enough no matter how the geometry is
