I love my 125 but I could never use it as a primary.

I don't think I'd feel safe on fast (60mph+) roads on a 125. My 250 feels like it has just enough power that I can move decisively among fast traffic and claim my lines on the road. I think if my bike was any less powerful, I'd feel like a leaf blowing around in heavy traffic; less control and much more at the mercy of the common absent minded driver.
I've ridden 125s on slower roads and felt fine.
