i am the same size as you bud and i can tell you flat out the 250 is not a big enough bike. i like the idea of the 650 v strom, i like those bikes alot. there are some good solid older bikes around that may be a great beginner platform for you and come in at the right price. they have simple mechanical systems and it will give you a chance to understand them better. i like the idea of the 750 or 650 nighthawk's from honda as well. i have a 1981 suzuki gs1100ex that i have for sale. it is a bit big but a good bike as well if you can be mature and responsible.
