I just had a wee look at your commute and it's 35km. My commute is a national road that's 20km long and it takes me 20 minutes (on a 500cc twin) and I've essentially no traffic. On my 125 it took 25 minutes so don't buy into the nonsense that a 250 is too slow. It'll add a few minutes compared to a bigger bike that's about it. The Suzuki you mentioned is on the heavy side at 170kg for a 250 but it should be grand for the commute. Price wise I wouldn't know what a 250 is going for but you should be able to snag one for less than 2000-1500.
Cheers thanks for the reply. If I could predictably do my commute in 45 mins to an hour (without having to leave at silly o clock) it would be amazing. nice solid perspective on the size of the bike as well thanks

Welcome to the world of biking - you'll love it. And truly, size doesn't matter. I have at least as much fun on my 125cc Vespa as my 1450cc Harley. Arguably more.....
A 250 would be a good choice. In reality you'd pick up a CB500 Honda for the same money and riding it would be very similar. It had been the stapleof bike schools for years & years.
And whether you pick a 'naked' or 'cruiser' might actually more depend on what you like when you try them......e.g. are you tall, or short, or..... etc ?
If you're starting out though can I suggest you buy engine bars / crash bungs. Believe me, you'll be glad you did....Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
