250cc is more than enough to carry an adult of any size 55mph.

I have had a 250cc bike up to 116.

That said, I would never have one as my primary bike ever again. there simply is not enough power in that engine to get you out of a bad situation if needed.

there may have been situations in history where an engine's power saved someone and whacking the throttle was the best option to avoid that, but it's a one in a million situation. it's out of the same school where "i had to lay it down" comes from. it is something a person says to make them feel better about their performance in a situation but it's not true.
