None
Yamaha makes the 125R (not available in USA) but no 250R.
If you wanted to make a comparison to the 250R it would be the FZ6R which blows the 250R out of the water all around as a beginner bike
As of right now, none of the other manufactors import there 250 sportbikes. Kawasaki is the only one importing a 250 size sportbike.
As for what the other answerer says, I personally, hardly consider a 600 cc sportbike an “entry level” machine. They are the largest selling class bar none for one reason-best power to weight ratio, bar none. They are fully capable of 0-60 in about 3 or less seconds and upwards of 160 mph. The 250 ninja is capable of sustained travel at 90mph all day long, and has a top speed on the pre08 models of about 110 mph (eventually) and the 08 &09 models of about 100-105 mph (they slightly detuned the topend in the new models to give it more low end and mid range).
