2nd thoughts about this bike

Is it just me or is it not all its made out to be, I'm thinking of selling it and picking up a 636 and as a legal requirement restricting the 636 to the same 33bhp the ninja 250 has so apart from power this is what i'd get.

I mean I could probably get a 2004 636 for less than the 2009 250 would sell for, with the 636 wet weight is 170kg, the ninja 250 wet is also 170kg. I get fully adjustable front suspension, dual brake rotors with 4 pot calipers, same size fuel tank, 180 rear tire, slipper clutch from the 2005 model.

I can get a 2007 for €1,000 more than the 250 cost me new

Anyway just a thought, also weird combo of rake/trail on the 250r, is it just me or does the bike fall into slow turns far to quick, and falls into fast turns far to slow. I know all bikes/vehicles do that but it seem very exaggerated on the 250. My test is a couple months away after which, i might sell the 250 and get a 636 and a new pc with the proceeds
