In case anyone is interested in this thread still. I currently own a 2010 ninja 250R and just recently I test drove the 300. On paper these bikes may seem somewhat similar but the 300 feels so so so so much better. Did i mention how much better the bike was? Freeway speed is capabale for my 250 I do it daily in the summer for about 45 miles each day. But the 300 didn't feel as tired up at those speeds. Both bikes are extremely light and flickable. I had a zx6r at one point and honestly i hate to say it but for day to day riding. I would take the 300 over it. If the 300 was available when I was buying i would of hands down bought it over the 250. However I reallllly want to try out the cbr 500. I feel like it'll be the best of the both worlds.

It's the CB500F that's the naked. Here's the CBR500R:
I like the naked look better, too, and it's $500 cheaper. CB500F:
It has ~54hp, less than half what the supersport 600s are making. A bit more than the Ninja 300's 39hp, with more torque. But then it weighs quite a bit more, too.
I wouldn't discount it, CB500F with ABS is only $500 more than the Ninja 300 with ABS.
I don't think you'd go wrong either way. But if you weigh much more than, say, 180 lb., you might really consider the 500.

but again, too much power
