Is the Kawasaki Ninja 500r a good first motorcycle for me?

I%26#039;m 6%26#039; 220lbs and considering a Ninja 500r for my first motorcycle. I want something less powerfull for the first year and after I%26#039;m a more experienced rider I%26#039;ll move up to something else.





Any advice on this bike or others?|||great choice. it is powerful enough to be fun too. you may also look at the Suzuki sv650 or if you want to spend a bit more. look at the entry level Ducati monster 626 or KTM Duke 690. great little bike for anyone .great articles here on both of them|||I%26#039;m planning on getting a k Ninja 650 for my first streetbike .. my friend who has been ridding for many many years said the 650 is a good first bike.. 500 is better on gas not as fast or powerful but you%26#039;ll get a break in insurance too|||So, why are you not considering the Kawasaki Ninja 250? Recently they had a guy test top speed and 0-60. 109 mph top speed and under 5 seconds to 60 mph.





Rider was 6%26#039;6%26quot;, 240 lb.





Is that good enough?|||i think it would be good for you because you 6 foot and it not that big but it does have a good sized eingine .|||Kn go ahead with your plan but use your head. That 500 will run and in the beginning get you over your head. Buy a helmet.|||Perfect for your first, not too big, not too small.|||Sounds great -- mo better if you can get it used. Good luck!!
