Default 250 Vs. 1000

Ok, this question is being posed by a friend at work who owns a '05 Gixxer 1000. I told him that a good rider could own him in the twisties ( keep in mind twisties ) on a New Ninja 250. He didn't wanna believe it. ( My experiance from riding an '02 CBR 954 then stepping onto a RVF 400 ( Not sure of year, yes here in the states which is rare i guess ) was a HUGE difference in agilitiy. RVF would dip into a turn easy. I know it's an overall lighter bike and wouldn't hold up in the straight line running. So anyway, Would the 250 win a twistie run? ( I am sure it would, but I haven't been riding that long so my experiance is very limited on the subject ) Thanks for reading and your input guys.
