It is hard for us to make a solid, sensible recommendation when we don't know your size, type of riding, etc. If you are going to be riding on the 65-70 mph highways......a 250 is not going to be the right choice.
In the Cincinnati, Ohio area you have a lot of bikes available and a huge selection on Craigslist....you could get a good deal on any bike you want if you watch and wait for the right one. Beater Savages are $ 1,500, nice ones are $ 2,500, and like new ones are $ 3,500 - $4,000. The Ninja 250 bikes are plentiful and there are many abused ones and some that are very nice for $ 2,000 and up.
If you are in a rural Colorado area.....you may not have nearly as good of a selection. You might consider looking at Craigslist in other areas and travel to get a good bike. Craigslist actively goes after anyone that sets up a way to search engines that can look at more than one local place at a time.....but I am told this one works.
Google "TEMPEST CRAIGSLIST" Main Page, Type in your Zip, item you are looking for, hit seach, then bookmark.
I bought my 2007 Suzuki Savage with 262 miles on it for $ 2,650, and I had to drive from Kentucky to New York City to get it......but it was in great shape and better than the choices I had in Cincinnati.
