Depends on your style to be honest. Do you do WOT all the time? If yes, get the Ninja250, it's still plenty fast. My buddy is 5'9" 180lbs, and he's still ripping around in it after 2 years.

My first bike (which I'm still riding) is a FZ6 (detuned version of R6 but pretty much the same engine), and unless I'm passing on the highway, I never ever even go past 1/3 throttle, and I keep my revs below 4000rpm in the city. The extra torque is definitely nice if this is your style.

I'm 5'6", probably 180lbs with gear.
