Kawasaki or Honda? The "Ninjette" 250R or the CBR 125?

The ninja 250R seems like an amazing beginner bike.-The seating position-The price-The neon green. I would be visible faster to others that are driving.-The amount of cc's. All I need is about 70mph tops.-It's stylish-It's nimble and sleek.Please don't be a squid and say the bike is too small or anything. lollIs Kawasaki a reliable company? I hear that their KLR's break down a lot and hear stories of people having problem with their bikes.Should I stick to a Honda CBR 125?It seems like a kick butt bike too but I feel like I need a little more power than 125 cubes.I rate the top answers =)Thanks all

Never had a Kwak'break'on me.This is simple,do you want to cruse at comfortable speeds with minimum effort.Or,do you want a bike that screams and pleads for mercy at 50+mph.My choice would be the former.Good luck.
