I still think an aeromodded 250 would be enough for highway. for example, last year I rode from Michigan to Kentucky on my SR185 with a passenger and our luggage. we rode 60-65 mph most of the way, and got 85mpg. on the way home my passenger opted to go in the car with my folks, and I rode home @ 70-75mph, and still got 85mpg. My bike has about half the power of a ninja or CBR250. I could see either of those bikes doing even better in these conditions.
