That's a lot of riding. If it were me, and I were planning that many miles on a daily basis, plus a full day's work, I'd go for the Vulcan 500 or something similar. Not so much for the wear and tear on the bike, as for the wear and tear on me. I'm a big fan of smaller is better, but for those kinds of miles day in and day out, something even bigger than the 500 might be better yet.

Also you mention mountains. Steep grades are not the 250's best friend, so you're talking about a lot of fairly hard miles.
