it may be a pita at highway speeds though, which is a good reason why I support the 500 over the 250, other than that it's really just up to you.
I doubt I will be doing a lot of highway driving when I'm learning. Although I will do some riding just for the experience. From what I read online someone my size will be able to hit 80mph pretty easy anyway. This bike will be mostly for city driving and getting to school. In a year or so if I am doing a lot of riding I will get a bike that is more highway capable.
Thanks for the input.
