Besides the Ninja 250, there are plenty of options depending on whether of not you plan to take long trips (+2hr) on highways; if so, 600/650cc displacement might be more versatile.
Also depending on your budget, 2001-2005 Suzuki Bandit 600 would likely be the least expensive at around $3000. 99-02 Suzuki SV650 could be found around $3500. Older Suzuki GS500 are also good bikes for cheap if you can find them.
