the only problem I find on the ninja 300/250 physically its to small especially for taller riders. Havent ridden the 300 one only the ninja 250 and had to rev the shit out of it. Imagine the 300 fixes that?
Starting top to bottom:
I'd have to read some fine print but, yeah, I think two years applies because it's not an unrestricted licence.

I'm 180cm, not overly tall but up further than a lot. I find the size nearly perfect, but that's subjective. I took the Ninja 650RL out and although it's more powerful/looks better imho, my knees were at much more of an angle because the foot pegs are further back, after 10 minutes I knew any decent ride was going to mean some soreness.

Ninja 250 has a carburetor/s and a 0-100 in the mid 7's. So yeah, gotta rev the crap out of it because all the power was in the higher rpms.
The Ninja 300 is not only 50cc bigger (well it's total 296cc for what it's worth), but has EFI so has more power everywhere. It's still sluggish under 5,000 rpm but you'll only be in that in 1st gear anyway. It's obviously at its best keeping the revs up but so long as your in the correct gear it revs out nicely from low down.

0-100 in 5.2s according to tests.
