Due to the ergo's of the Ninja 250, it just does not lend itself for comfort to the taller rider. Trying to lay out on the bike can even be awkward for a long period of time.

Adding rearsets will not gain you any real leg room. They mostly tend to make you tuck your legs under more. One way to not be as tucked is to slide back on the seat as far as possible, although it's sometimes hard to maintain this position
on the sloped stock seat.

For a taller rider, a Zero Gravity Sport Touring Windscreen is better to move the wind higher (at least to the top of the helmet) and reduce some buffeting.

Slingshot Racing has adjustable foot pegs. Lowering the foot position along with getting the hips back is the most efficient way to gain forward leg room.

Rider comfort can be accomplished in more ways than one or two. The operation of the bike plays a small part as well. Here are some other comfort tips.
