any advice?

hey guys, im just starting to get into bikes. Its so much more easier than working on cars! I'm looking on suggestions for local bike forums that has a decent classified section. Specifically, im looking to get a 250 Ninja. All the ones on this forum seem to get sold instantly =(

I have been riding a 500 for three years, there is not reason to own a 600 on the streets. A 250 will do just fine and be super easy on the wallet.

Get what you feel comfortable on. Anything can kill you. Some faster than others.

power to weight ratio of a 250 will do low 14s. I have a rough idea of how much Gs that is and its plenty for streets.

i dont mind selling and buying something else later on either if i end up becoming a more serious rider. I just want something ot cruise around with in the city right now honestly.

thanks for the replies.

you looking to buy an older bike or a newer one? the new 250r's look real nice, if your in to getting a new one there only like 3900 or something cheap.

How much do you weigh, and how tall are you cause 250 might feel a little slow if your a bigger person.

i started on a 600 but it was a 93 cbr so it was alot more forgiving, i recommend an old 600 if your jst starting.
