YES. But the affects are not much different than a 650R. It's probably comparable to ANY light-weight bike with an upright seating position.
And YES, I DO have experience with all the machines mentioned above.
But if you can't learn to compensate for that, then you probably shouldn't ride - at least not on windy days, and have not developed skills necessary to safely ride a supersport.
Sorry Erv - not picking on you or anything, but I had to respond to this little bit of mis-information.
And again, this is not to say that the 250 is for everyone, and is all anyone should start on. I cannot stress this enough.

take the weight off the bars and the wind will not throw you around as much. give it a try. I have and it works. you can put more weight on the bars on the other sportbikes and the wind will throw you around the same.
