I am 5'4" and wish I weighed in at 155 lbs. I have been running 2 to 4 miles at a time a few times a week. I run as much as 6 miles sometimes.

Anyhow I woud not fault you for buying a new 650R. If you are very conscious of your actions on it it will be a great first bike. But once you get the 650R you won't want to mess with the 250R. I have the 500R and it is a great bike for a beginner or an experienced rider and I hear the 650R is the same. I bought the 500R new over the 650R new because it was a 2007 closeout in May and $4,000 vs the 6,400 on the 2008 650R to me was a no brainer. The 650R looks much better but my main concern was saving gas in my truck and being as cheap as possible on a new bike. Main goal was under $100 a month with credit union financing.
