You've never so much as rode a 250 and you're going to tell everyone in the world that a 250 isn't for them? WTF? One of my MSF instructors rides a 250 Rebel! That bike has about 15 hp to the rear wheel! And it's all she wants!
Some people don't want to overcompensate for things with a 400 pound ***** replacement between their legs! Why do you think people will automatically NEED to move up from a tiny little 250? I rode an 80cc 2stroke dirtbike for years and didn't once think "man this bike is boring, I need a 450 because it's bigger".
And seeing as a 250 sportbike has the same roll on acceleration as most production passenger cars I don't understand why it can't keep up with any kind of traffic. In fact, this is another argument!
A 250 rider isn't going to rely on the bike to get their *** out of trouble when they're riding in a cager's blind spot. They're going to AVOID the blind spot so they don't get creamed!

That is what I thought...Next.
Come back when you guys have a similar scenario to elaborate on how the 250 could have changed that situation.

Your argument is flawed. Here's a situation for you.
Two riders are on the highway, going highway speeds. One is wearing a helmet, the other isn't. Both riders get caught behind a semi that jack-knifes and crash into it at 50 mph. Both riders die. WTF did helmets have to do with that crash?
Come back telling when you have a similar scenario to elaborate on how the helmet could have changed that situation. If you can. It's a pretty loaded question.
