In the UK brand new, the Cbr250 is around £1000 cheaper to buy than the ninja. So my money would be on the CBR250 to be honest (I also think thst whilst it doesnt look as 'sporty' as the ninja, it is a more recent, fresher design
If you are doing highway sorts of speeds regularly, have you considered getting a 500cc, such as a Suzuki GS500 or Honda CB500? (these would also be more comfy for a pillion) For the money you spend on a 250, you could more than likely get an as new 500cc and be able to run it for a couple of years. Also, you should have more luck when you come to selling it, as it seems in the UK at least, bigger bikes seem to appeal to a wider audience than the 250's do
Good luck and whatever you buy, keep it shiny side up
