The weight isn't really too much of a problem as long as you keep it upright when it's still. While it's moving inertia and gyroscopic action takes care of the weight. Javi's right though, height is more important. You gotta be able to reach the ground. Anybody know the diff in seat height between the 250 an the 750?
