Ninja 650 will be too much of it... better go for Ninja 250...

I am now thinking of upgrading myself from classic bullet to a more modern sports tourer and have only the two ninja brothers on mind the 250 and 650.
price difference is not a criteria,as this would be my first fully faired bike with fuel injection, faster acceleration and many other goodies so what is the best bet a cautious entry into this league with a 250 or a direct cc upgrade from 350cc bullet to a 650cc Ninja

The bike will be used for touring and city riding both though mostly touring

please give your advice so I can reach to a decision.

thanks and regards
Saurabh

a proper bike is only a litre class bike and giving you more than 100 ps. you cannot be starting with a 100 cc than 200 cc 600 cc etc. the real bike is a 1000 cc bike which you should aim for. ninja 250 is a track focused bike with very tight specs for the race track. ninja 650 is the road version. except for a bigger engine there is not much to compare between the 2 ninjas. for bad roads ninja 250 is quite bad compared to 650. but otherwise ninja 250 is pretty good. rememember ninja 250 is at present the best quarter litre bike in the world, unfortunately not the ninja 650.

it is your hard earned money. but possibly you can enjoy all fruits of a good bike with a ninja 250, track,roads,speed like a ninja 650 and after a year or 2 you can switch to a 1000 cc bike quite comfortably as you have only invested 3 lakhs.( i hate attention hence i am having black ninja but failed on this ) but ninja 250 turns more heads than the ninja 650 when both are together if that is some thing in your list )

The 250 is not a tourer ...seating egros on the long will hurt your wrists ..the 650 is better and has a better seating position for 2 up too... decide on your priorities ....ride em...min 1 hr each before you decide...
