I'm a Kawasaki triples guy, but the Yamaha twins are great bikes too. If you're set on a 250, there are certainly faster bikes than the Kawasaki 250 triple (S1). It was an underbored 350 that was built for the European (and possibly other) market when they had the tiered licensing.

Other more esoteric 250 2-strokes like Danno mentioned can be scary-fast, but that stuff gets expensive.

I agree about the RZ350 being a fun bike, and they're still excellent street bikes. I got to ride a friend's RZ at Deals Gap a couple years ago and got a nice profile photo out of it.
