Hi Jay, Yes , the CBR 250 would be an excellent choice except that they are so new that it's hard to get one for as cheap as I could find a used Ninja 250. If cost were no object it would probably be my first choice.
I've started looking at Ninja 250s and am hoping at get a good runner for $1000- $1500. I've only seen new or almost new CBR250s and the asking price is around $4000.
I have also thought about the Yamaha Virago 250 as it gets great fuel economy but I'm concerned that the I may have cooling problems after I streamline it. Also the Ninjas are much more common.
all the best, Vic
