Our best asset and most crucial defense against being food for a cage is our ability to accelerate and the tiny cruisers don't have what it takes.
And if you're worried about price, last spring I bought a 4 yr old Shadow 750 for 3k, about the price of a new 250.

What about a Magna 750? Same size engine, two more cylinders, TONS more power and better handling for about the same price. The Mag is ROCK solid, man and a blast to ride, even for "puttin" around town.
I got my mag for 3700 but I've seen them for cheaper in great shape.
