They hold there resale value.

Take a look on CL for CBR & Ninja 250. Yes they cater to new riders but there are new riders every season.

A few years ago I was looking into picking up a Ninja 250 for a 'fun' bike but was put off by the high prices for a used bike. (Good for the sellers though). Cause you can find a 600 cc a few years older for the same price.

Also do not forget the whole 'Track Bike' segment. A lot of 250's end up a track bikes, so it is not all new riders.
