If it's over 5 grand that will be a huge test to the theory that the US market is price obsessed and won't tolerate an expensive small 250. VStar 250, TU250X, CBR250R, Ninja250R, Rebel 250 - all of these are priced at 4300 +- 200 for a reason.
Let's be honest, any bike with under 50 HP will feel like an anemic dog compared to any other bike in the showroom. It's going to take more then a few extra CC to change the character of the Ninjette. If all you care about is corners then even still the lighter bike will be more fun even a Rebel 250 can take corners at 60+. I don't see Kawasaki pricing this above 5 grand.
