If your burns that much oil that it's an issue I'd open it up and see if the piston needs changing or new rings and the cylinder needs work.
It's another reason I like new bikes. I know how it was worn in.

Smaller bikes are often ridden harder and tougher than bigger bikes and by that I mean at higher rpms and more of the tourqe are used in general. If you ride a 250 like a 650 valves, valveguides, pistonrings etc will wear out faster and start to use oil earlier on. Simple as that I belive....
