As everyone said as 500 or 650 twin is very powerful and fast but much easier to handle than the super sports. Plus the insurance is usually much lower.
I’m 6’2″ 220 and the 250r was easily able to do freeway speeds with power to accelerate. On one of the ninja forums there was a ride report of a 250r rider who did an Iron Butt ride on his. He went from OK to AZ to NC and back to OK in under 5 days (may have been 4). It is a very capable bike.
