The Kaw 250 is a great bike. All I have read is good things about her. But if your getting just to learn and get more comfortable with a bike she would be good for ya. Plus it'll be very easy to sell her as well since she was just Updated dramatically just recently. When I was in the market for a new bike and my SV650s was stolen from my neighborhood. I have been riding since 96 and would have missed my V twins down low torque if I had gone with the 250.
I would Highly recommending finding someone that is selling one and going there with cash in hand and telling them that you want to take a turns to feel the seat because you're worried that you might be too tall for the bike. With cash in hand they shouldn't have a problem because if you lay her down she's yours.... Unless you are worried you couldn't handle that part of it I would just sit on one at the store and if there is Any pinching at all I would not recommend it.
