Hi and welcome!
I love the Rebel 250 as a starter bike - it's the one I learned on in my MSF course and I really loved it right from day 1. I really wanted to ride the Ninja 250 and GS500 at the course but ended up stuck on the little Rebel because it just felt right. Good choice!

It looks big because of the style. Big fenders, big tank, but it's only about 40hp.
The 650 was my first bike. It only feels heavy for the first few weeks until you find your balance.
