I use the 80/20 rule. Pick the bike for what you plan to use it for 80% of the time. If you use plan on carrying a passenger 80% of the time…I’d go with a larger bike. If not, then a 250 is fine, if a 250 is fine FOR YOU 80% of the time. A 250 will carry two folks, and probably can go do 60mph-remember at that speed, it’s less about weight than it is wind resistence. It WILL struggle though…
