The ergonomics of the CBR250R are perfect to ride while laying on the tank but you are too tall. I'm 5'9 150. You would have to change the windscreen. There are two nice ones to choose from. There is a lot of room on the seat and for your knees at the tank though. Much roomier than the Ninja. My hands get a little wet but I am going to move them in another inch with new bars. My toes get soaked but that is about all. The thing that impresses me is the self correcting ride in crosswinds. The CBR250R automatically leans into the wind. It feels more like you are riding a low flying airplane. And, there is a two inch slot, just above the windscreen where it is basically not raining. Even in a downpour. Perfect visibility.

Of course the engine is very efficient and could easily surpass the Vetter Challenge with a full dustbin and recumbent seating if you wanted to chop it up.
