Don't get me wrong they are great bikes.
I agree a 250 can be too small. Have you thought about an older bike to start on or do you want a newer style? Pete's GS500 would be a good deal. You also might look into Honda Hawk GT's.
Just don't rule out an older 1st bike if it runs fine and you get a deal. You will dump it at one point.... You can upgrade it in a year or two.
Get out there and ride.
