I've got both. The 650 is a nice step up from the 250. It has decent power but it not a huge leap like a 600 would be. It has served me well as a commuter, canyon runner and track/race bike. Light touring would be fine too. It has a taller seat height than the SV650 but the Ninja 650 is very narrow so it seems lower.
Feel free to ask more questions. I have done a ton of test rides over the last few years. I'll put my 2 cents in on just about anything. I can talk bikes all day and all night...
