I had RZ350 for while at university. It was such fun bike, practically rip your arms off after 9K-rpms when powerband kicked in. Awesome power-to-weight ratio and it handled like magic in mountains.
NSR250 more refined and civilised. Better suspension with more adjustment options. Avoid later years wih crippled engine due to gentlemen's agreement between manufacturers. This was due to changing ignition maps with different smart-card. Not sure how easy it is to find an earlier smart-card and cloning it.
There's also Aprilia RS250, but haven't had any experience with that one.
