I”m in the same boat. 5′ 10, 260 lbs. Sigh…Damn carbs and beer! I’m loving the idea of a 250R, but unsure if it’s size and power will be sufficient for my big ass! From what I’ve read, it should be just fine for a first bike. I’m heading to a dealership Thursday afternoon to sit on, and check out an 08 Blue 250R with seat cowl. Just got a call back from them stating it’s not a trade-in, rather it’s on consignment due to the owner not being able to afford the payments. Sucks for him. I’ll check her out and reply how comfortable it is to sit on and handle bar distance, etc.
