Better? POSSIBLY, if as James points out, they are exceptionally well maintained and not 40-50k+km machines.
The average 250 will have been owned by a constant stream of 'Ernest Thrashers' who just as likely have NOT had the correct periodic maintenance done. Remember a 4 cyl bike has a 'fixed price' for it's service schedule and that is several hundreds. CC size has no bearing on cost, amount of cylinders do. Major services are around $5-600. Doesn't take much to work out how many of those may have never gotten performed.
Cheap chinese made fairings can soon make a neglected and thrashed to fuck bike look reasonable. The really fast older 250's were taken out of the LAM's list KR, RGV etc. Most of the modern twins will get close or break 160kph. Do you REALLY need faster? Plus 20+ yr better suspension, brakes etc.
