i think i want a ninja 250 for my first bike any ideas

You should start out with a dual purpose bike first.

l do not know anything about street bikes but l want the two points

Sorry, but you must have clicked the wrong section, as this is the motorcycle RACING questions.

The best advice l can give you is you to post this question again.

You would get a better response in..

''Cars & Transportation''> ''Motorcycles''

Excellent choice, but good luck finding one. If you do, grab it while you can.

Ninja 250 is are kinda ugly and extremely small. If l were you l would enroll into a 4 day cycle course to hop on those really fun little rebel 250 is and just buy something that you're going to be happy with. But if thats what you want, go for it. l would suggest a 600. But be careful, rockets have alot of ass compared to others. l have a slightly modified GSXR600 that tore up a Dyna 1450 and a brightly colored Lamborghini.

It is a great option for a beginner, as is it is big brother the 500 ninja. Stay off the 600 is till you get experience and a training course. Do not let the posers out there push you around or feed you a bunch of sh!t, l ride a ZX-10 and can still have fun on the little ninjas. Buy what you like.

it is a good starter bike, from what i've heard not much to worry about as far as them breaking or anything. My first bike was a suzuki gs500, as compared to the 250 ninja a little more power but not liquid cooled. In my opinion, u might be better off with a 500 ninja, similar bike with a little more power. l rode dirt bikes before street bikes so l was familiar with a bike, so after the first 5 minutes l was already bored of the gs500 is acceleration. So if it is ur very first bike, the 250 is a good choice, but u will get bored of it pretty quick. If u have a little experience under ur belt, shoot for something a little larger, like the gs500 or ninja 500, but I'd definitely say wait on the 600, 750, & 1000cc crotch rockets till u get some experience

That is exactly what l got for my first bike 2 months ago. l do not regret it at all, actually highly recommend starting smaller. The Ninja250 is a lot more forgiving than an insane 600+ rocket for new riders.
That said, l just traded my 250 in for Kawasaki is ZX6R.
l got bored of the lil Ninja is power pretty quick, however, l am also a damn good rider. ; )
Honestly, do what makes u feel comfortable. l do not know about you, but dropping a 10,000 rocket does not make me comfortable. Go with the smaller one & trade up as u get better.
