Welcome PhilipMarlowe. I did the 250cc to Bonneville route (the America) myself. For me, it was good to graduate from the smaller bike to the America. I only went about 2000 miles on the 250cc (a Korean-made Hyosung cruiser, which was a real good bike), and then sold it for the Triumph, but again, it was right for me to do it this way. I think the suggestions of the VStar 250 or 650 are good based on your height. Sit on a lot of bikes, and you will find the one that fits you best!
