If I were to buy another I'd probably change the handelbars to a superbike bend and add a small windshield. Curious to see what effects you'll see from taller gearing, eventually.
Same height here and about 15 more pounds. I started recently riding again on a 125 CC Kawasaki Eliminator. Moved up to a few Honda Rebels, then some 500 CC bikes. Now I am back to a 250 CC bike.
