The CBR250 is a great platform, one day I might get one myself. I like the 12000km maintenance period, and it's a 250 that seems not only 'smaller', but better at FE than my current F650 (which is better than most other 650s in this respect).
I wonder how a potent luggage compartment (at least a large top case) and possibly a wider handlebar changes this good FE. Sendler's experience with luggage looks promising, now the remaining question is how comfortable I would find the stock handlebar(s) and the whole riding position (I don't plan on tucking for long hours).
I don't intend to retire Teresa anytime soon, but I can always keep an eye for possible successors. The CBR250 is among them (so is the NC700S with its built-in 'tank' luggage compartment, which is a brilliant touch). TBH, I don't need any sportiness, but a reliable all-rounder for commute and errands as well as long round trips.
