welcome! “outgrow the 250’s” well opinion vary but I can promise you most likely you will be happy til you make the mistake of sitting on a friends bigger bike…. it’s a more power kinda thing….kinda like some peoples addiction to tattoos. And don’t think it stops there…. jump to a 500 and you’ll want a 900 then up the ladder you go…then you start feeding your new addiction with bolt ons….. and its all down hill from there.
At your height and some experience that you do have a 500 should not be out of the question as long as you stay honest about your true abilities…. and pls take the MSF or equivalent courses. Not only are you adding power to the equation but also weight.
Most importantly…butt test everything you can!
