A few hundred kilometers on my Darling Bride's Versys 300 have convinced me that small displacement bikes have more utility than is generally accepted in this part of the world. I wouldn't mind trying a Vstrom 250. I do admit though, when the reviewer talked about the VStrom's comfortable seat I did start to doubt his judgement.
Smaller bikes are fun to a point. They are light and super easy to throw about. But, for me I think 300cc-400cc is likely my bottom limit at t his point in my life.
There are some good choices in the size range so I would pass on a 250 size four stroke.
