Chris,

The 250R gets pushed around at any speed. I was coming out of work parking lot and was getting ready to put my foot down just as a Semi was going by, it about blew me over. Luckily the bike its really light and I was able to catch myself.

500s are very user friendly. They only make about 50hp. If you've ridden a 426 dirtbike, then power wise a 500 should be fine for you. They are a little more comfortable as well.

Here is a GS500E:
