Ex250 & cbr250
I spent about half of yesterday's trackday on my EX race bike and half on a CBR250 with Bazzazz, Akrapovic, emulators, springs, clipons, and rearset brackets.
The Honda handles marginally better (less offset, more rake/trail, maybe?), but the engine is nowhere close to the Ninja. Without some serious motorwork, there's no comparison. Just to be sure, I put a friend (who probably weighs 70 lbs more than me) on my Ninja, and I took the CBR. I had to ride my ass off to keep up with him, and he left me as soon as he got used to the bike. So, if you're thinking of chasing that Honda contingency money, good luck.

Nice to hear a comparison from this perspective, and from a local, no less.
