I think it is the best way to go as long as shifting is not an issue.

I had Jeremy's 250R videos on auto-repeat for over a month before pulling the trigger on this swap. I have a 2012 Ninja 250R, but didn't want to use it as a donor. I feel that it's about the perfect power output for a 150 class frame.
The 250R is great for flying around flat terrain, but compared to the CVT in the GY6 I think there will be limitations going up hills. I'm fine with this though, different builds for different riding locations. Each best at its intended purpose. You can see in a few of Jeremy's videos that he stalls out one particular hills a couple times. Although, I'm sure it's a good sized hill. It's hard to tell in video/pictures.
Jeremy used a 1988-2007 250R engine, which as more peak HP, but less mid-range torque. I decided on the 08+ engine for that torque.
