I can only speak from my experience and I went with the Ninja 500. I can cruise very comfortably on the highways and still have a couple more gears to help save gas milage. It’s got plenty of power but, hasn’t intimidated me, yet. I don’t care for the way the Blast looks, personally. I was considering the Ninja 250 but, the 500 is a bit more bike and I know it won’t have any problem with the wife on the back. Also, I ride around town mostly upright and I don’t have any problem with the riding position. I am 6’1″ and around 185lbs, if that helps. So far, I’ve had it a couple of weeks and I don’t regret buying it, whatsoever.
