I would disagree with:
I'm 6 foot (180lbs) and whlie the 250s are not made for tall people they are not that bad for a few hours of slow speed manuevering to get you the gist of riding. I personally preffered learning on this, knowing one that the bike was light and easy to catch if I made an oops and two that if I made an oops, oh well, don't care and nor do the instructors.
I say go for the bike you want and just take it slow, easier then buying and bike you will want to get rid of shortly then deal with selling that and looking for your true love
I agree a riding course is a good thing but can only assume most of the people who highly recomend them are eighther under 6ft. or never actualy tried to ride a Rebel 250.At 6ft. its kinda like a monkey and a football scenario
