In the US.....right now......I don't think so.
Don't write off the 400-750 bikes that are a little heavier though.
The Vulcan 500 you mentioned is a good choice
Maybe a Ninja 500 or 650 but lots of plastic and more forward position
Suzuki s-40 (650) maybe
Honda Shadow 600....if you can find one or maybe an ER6N
Lots of choices but damn few that fit your weight target.
I didn't think I would ever ride anything heavier than the GZ again but now am quite comfortable on my Shadow.
Maybe you need one more riding season of "practice".......and maybe the weight difference won't be as important as you think.....if you haven't ridden anything that size yet.
P.S. If you go for an OLD 350 or 400, it likely won't have much more useable power than your present 250.
