The Ninja 250 is the bike that fits the critera the best. price;/performance and modability.
The "problem" with aircooled bikes is the management of the cooling air. If the cooling air is managed they are fine. Good management of cooling air requires ducting to and from the cylinder and head.
The next best choice would be a single cyclinder duel sport bike motor from 200 to 400cc. Look for something that has a bolt on rear subframe; if they are available on none racing type dirt bikes, that can be replaced with a rear subframe with a lower seat height.
The nice thing about the 250cc V-twin bikes is they start with a low seat height. An other consideration is; can the stock handle bars be easily replaced with narrower ones for better aero.
