I love my Kawasaki KR-1S's (I have 2 )... 250cc 2 smoker, ~130kgs, 60HP... Not that good for bigger blokes though (like fatso Revhead )... I'm only ~65kgs so it suits me well... Extremely maneuvorable and plenty of speed, massive corner grip... Keeps up with much bigger bikes up to about 200 kph...
2 strokes are exxy to run though... You have to plan ahead for maintenance, etc...
If your after a sporty 250cc 4 stroke, you really can't go wrong with a CBR, ZX-2R, or FZR... Just sit on them all and see which one feels best...
