This is an interesting thread...

In the 250cc class I like the Kymco Bet & Win 250, It's a solid 80+ mph and can corner with anything. Power to weight ratio is excellent and it has good cornering clearance. The actual best handling / performing 250 I've ever ridden has to be the Vespa GTS250. Stock it will go over 85 mph and it corners remarkably well. The cool thing about the Vespa is that it looks vintage and it will really hold its value. http://clevelandscooters.com/_wsn/page3.html

I potentially have a line on a 2007 B&W 250 (new stock)... dunno why Kymco no longer sells this in the U.S., but it seems U.S. customers prefer the 16" wheeled models. I think the B&W is very sharp. I should know in a week or so if I can work out a deal to get this one.

Yeah... life's too short, and the Hummer drivers are using up all the gasoline -- no time to waste!  :)

Okay, my calculator says that I'm better off with a lightly-used 2006 Yamaha Majesty, so for now, the B&W is off the table.
