I was out in the Mountains of NC yesterday, when wind started picking up rather quickly. Gusts were in the 20-30mph range. I learned alot about the bike to say the least. First of all, I am 180 lbs, 6ft tall. I was driving about 55-65 mph mostly. The 250R is so light, the wind just destroys any fun your having. It was seriously blowing me around like a rag doll, as much as 5 feet left and right I would say. The first large gust almost cost me, as I was about 6 inches from the shoulder when it finally let up and I was able to get back closer to the center line.
Bottom line is I would not reccomend riding the 250 in wind over 10-15mph, at most. If you are a begginer especially. I learned from it all right, I learned that wind and a 330lb bike dont go well together.
