Re: which bike is better?
In my opinion, assuming that the rider knows to stay within his limits, a 250cc will be out grown too quickly. It is a light, low powered bike that is great to learn fundamentals on, but to be honest its going to bore you pretty quickly. Even though, if you start getting serious about riding, and start racing per say, you'll find yourself coming back to the lighters bikes. The corner speed of this bad boys is just absolutely sick.
On the other hand, a 600cc inline four powered bike, can be too fast! Honestly, I started on a F4 CBR 600, but I felt very uncomfortable, and not confident for at least an entire season. If the power band of a bike is something that makes you scared, the learning curve will be a LOT steeper for you.
I think the perfect starter bike would be a 500cc, or a 600 v-twin, i.e. sv650, etc. They're still quick, but definitely more forgiving. You gotta keep in mind, what you're trying to accomplish in riding, looking fast, or going fast. And I don't mean in a straight line.

There was no need for that comment.
Keep in mind. The 600 you have right, if you're referring to my old bike, is a very outdated bike. It doesn't have shit on the 600's that are being put out today. I learned on that though, and now I feel completely comfortable on any bike I've ridden.
That's why I go naked. Anyways though, that's not always the case. I want nothing more than to get on an R1 or to get a cruiser with a 124" in it, but I'm still not completely comfortable. I started out on a GS500 and now I'm on a 600. The next step is probably a 750 or 1000. The point is that not everybody out there takes the more hazardous route. Give the guy some credit :-).

Yes I read the post. You posted fag while quoting someone else. That right there is an attempt to take it off topic by starting an arguement. He might have been being smart when saying "get a busa", but at the same time how do you know he doesn't honestly feel like that would be a good choice for a first bike?

Re: which bike is better?
I would sit on all bikes to get a general feel / comfort with each one. I do suggest a 250 as a starter bike, but if you dont have any experiance at all. That includes any dirt bikes, 2 wheel, etc. Also, there are 500cc bikes available as well, the ZZR is a great bike. Just take it slow and learn on your own pace and def. spend the money on GOOD gear. Can't stress it enough.
