My son is really big at 6'0 and 260 pounds so the Ninja 650 is really nice for him. He and I still use the PCX150 for errands around town. I sold the WR250R for a good price which freed up some cash to buy the Ninja which Kawasaki has been rebating $1,000 on all year. $6650 plus tax and tags with the special paint and ABS. It's a little vibey but not as pronounced as the CBR and the tall seat is comfortable. The stock seat is low and narrow. The adjustable windscreen can achieve the perfect position to get the magic blow dryer effect on your visor in the rain. The precise handling is amazing and the aerodynamics slice through dirty air with minimal disruption. I believe this is why the fairing on modern bikes tend to incorporate some kind of sharp feature on the front which is clean through straight on air but tends to break the attachment on the far side with angled air. I had it up to 105 mph while chasing up to the next group one time and it is calm and comfortable. Something you would never say about any naked bike. Not to mention an upright naked bike gets you pummeled in the rain.
