if you do the 80cc big-bore kit they're as fast as a ninja 250, and they murder the kawi/honda 250's on handling because they're 100lbs lighter, and derived from the junior-class MotoGP bikes, not just designed to be the cheapest sportbike possible.
see also: Aprilia RS50
here's photos from a group ride i went on back in May with a few other guys that have similar bikes:
past:
1989 325is (learner shitbox)
1986 325e (turbo dorito)
1991 318ic (5-lug ITB)
1985 323i baur
current:
1995 M3 (suspension, 17x9/255-40, borla)

Honda's got 3 new 500 bikes, if that's what you're after.
none of them weigh 200lbs like the Derbi/Aprilia, though- think of it as the motorcycle equivalent of a Lotus Elise.past:

we're the same height, but haha, yeah, you probably don't want a bike that weighs less than you do- i'm only a buck sixty so i'm fast on my little flyweights.
i was looking at one of these at SFMoto when i was thinking of upgrading:
the classifieds at BARF (linked earlier) are also a good place to shop- good community over there.past:
