Is a Kawasaki Ninja 250 a good beginner bike for someone who is over 6 feet tall.?

Im in the market for my first bike and i really like the Kawasaki Ninja 250. I am worried about the fact that i am 6 foot 2 and i wonder if that bike is too small for me and i%26#039;ll be cramped on it. Any suggestions.|||I%26#039;ve read a number of testaments to the Ninja 250 being just fine for 6ft and above. You won%26#039;t know until you sit on it and other bikes. |||you%26#039;ll look a little funny, but it%26#039;s not like you%26#039;ll literally be too tall to fit on the EX250.





for someone your size, I would try to get a 500 instead. The GS500 looks more like a %26#039;sportbike%26#039; than the EX500, but the EX is the more powerful machine...





if you can learn on the MSF%26#039;s 250cc cruisers, or get some seat time on someone else%26#039;s 250, a 650 twin (sv650 or ninja650) are about the biggest %26#039;beginner%26#039; bikes out there. Both will look better than the 500s.





ultimately you have to sit on them and see what suits you best. good luck, and congrats on making a responsible choice for a first bike.|||yea they are, if your considering a 250r you night as well get a little pocket bike. just go with a kawasaki zx6r(636). they are very good bikes and have a good seating position compared to the other sport bikes(cbr,gsxr,r6/r1) that have you hump backed. as long as you drive responsibly a 600cc will be perfect. but dont buy new as you may set the bike down on a slow u turn or while parking, but that can happen on anybike. also value on the goes down way to fast to buy new and it takes almost 5k miles just to break it in anyways... my advice, go with a 2005-2006 kawasaki 636.|||You are too tall ! Go to a dealer and sit on bikes until you find one you like and fits, Ninjas are made in 600,750, and 1100 CC%26#039;s and capable of tremendous speeds and G-forces but also very capable of civilized traffic. Also try the other styles,cruisers and standards and other makes.


First take the Motorcycle Safety Foundations starter course.|||Get a 500 instead of a 250, you will want a bigger bike and the 500 is a good size for someone as tall as you. Plus you wont have to get another bike for a while, it will last.|||I would look at the videos at the site below. But my guess is you will want a Suzuki Katana or a Ninja 650r See video of your motorcycle picks below.|||I just rode a 2008 for the first time a few weeks back. I%26#039;m 5%26#039;8%26quot; and felt very cramped, just my 2 cents.
