i want to start rideing a bike this year and i would like a sportsbike like a ninja 250. 5,7 125 pounds and would like somthing thats decently fast and wont kill me with insurance. i dont need 2 go to fast just somthin that looks good and would be enjoyable to ride|||I ride a 250 now and I would say it is a great starter bike. However you will get tired of the lack of power very quickly. You might want to look into the 500 or 650. The Ninja isn%26#039;t so tuned that it will scare the crap out of you every time you twist the throttle. But the bigger bikes will have that extra power to keep you out of trouble on the highway.
If your cruising at 65mph and some jackass on the cell phone next to you decides he wants to move into your lane the 250 only give you one option, BREAK! the 500 or 650 gives you the option of accelerate away from danger OR break. Options are good on motorcycles.
What ever you do get yourself some good riding gear. Textile or mesh jacket and riding paints. Not to mention a good helmet. Without the riding gear if and when you lay the bike down you chance losing 1/2 your skin. At least with the gear you will keep you hide.
Remember it%26#039;s not a matter of IF your going to crash but WHEN. EVERY rider will crash at some point. |||Yes, that is an excellent bike. I%26#039;ve ridden a friends ninja 250 and had a blast on it. I%26#039;m 180lbs and 6+. The bike is small for me, but still very fun and I%26#039;ve tried to convince my wife to get one. It is plenty fast enough too, I%26#039;ve gone up to around 100mph on it, but very controllable and predictable. I would stick with this size and model for a year or two and see if you are really into riding. If you love it, maybe consider up sizing then, if no, this bike will provide you years of cheap, reliable, fun transportation and unbeatable gas mileage.|||If it is your first bike then the 250 is a good bet. My brother has a 600 and says its great, but that the 250 has the better handling and is safer to ride. If all your looking for is speed 600 is great, but if you want to be on the safer side the 250 is better. Keep in mind the bigger bikes are harder to ride only because they are higher up and you have to be able to keep at least one foot completely on the ground. |||I started off with a Honda VTR 250. Its true that you will get bored with it, but its the best bike to learn on. Its cheap to buy and cheap to maintain. If its your first bike, you have to assume that you are going to spill it at least once. Everybody does!! Its also cheaper to insure, but thats no big difference.
A bigger bike might be intimidating and if you are scared of your bike, its not a good combination.|||This is definitely the way to go. I%26#039;m considering one myself and I%26#039;m 5%26#039;9%26quot; and 145 pounds. 250R%26#039;s have amazing gas mileage and they just look awesome! :) |||no, get atleast a 500. you will quickly become bored with a 250 and wish you had gotten a 500.|||step it down one. exspecially if you are just starting|||you should have fun with that
good first choice
get decent gear and wear it
