Ninja 250 will handle 75mph without any issue.
The consensus from MSF instructors is that bigger bikes have no advantage in the wind. While the bike may weight more, it also has more surface area for the wind to hit and apply force over. Usually when someone says that bike X handles wind better than their old lighter bike it is a matter of experience – the new bike isn’t handling the wind better, the now more experienced rider is.
The Ninja 250, GS500, and Ninja 500 all handle highway well.
