How much would I hate a Ninja 250? PORN LINK SFW **Update: Bought a Bike**
 

I want a first bike. I want it to be cheap. Ninja seems like the safest bet.

I know this topic has been covered. I've done a good deal of searching. I either see one group of people saying the Ninja 250 is the best beginners bike out because of its cost and features. On the other hand I see a lot of people saying that one should just go straight to the 500-600cc bikes as the 250 will be boring in a couple of weeks.

Throw out any suggestions of bikes I can pick up for around $2500 or less. I'd prefer suggestions of bikes that aren't older than 10 years old. I really don't have a strong reasoning behind this other than aesthetics.

Update:

I bought a 2000 SV650 a couple of days ago. I made out just okay on the deal, but I was having a really hard time finding any bikes for sale in the area so I jumped on this bike. It has 15,xxx miles. Got it for $2900 with a helmet, gloves, and battery charger thing. I haven't really gotten to ride it because I don't really know how and the helmet I got with the bike doesn't fit me but my dad. Oh well. Helmet will be coming in the mail early this week and I will be taking lessons/getting a license early next week. Here are pics.

just don't expect it to be anything more than a moped. I don't see how riding a 250 will make you a better rider, unless you have some severely fucked up hand eye coordination.

What do you weigh? I way 150 and I had a ninja 250 about 5 years ago. I'm a very experianced rider Been riding since I was a kid. Theyre fun. You can jump them and keep the front end up. But you can't ride with your friends if they have bigger bikes.because a 250 isn't fast enough to get away from the cops. think of a gsr hatch and thats about what they do.

All the guys I ride with are experianced as well and we usaully ride at about 130-140 ish on the highway.

For 2500 you can search around and find a cbr900 for about that just look around. Any size bike can kill you and remember the throttle goes both ways. DOn't do things you think you can't doand don't speedin heavy traffic. We speed eveywhere we go but not during rush hour be safe and smart. If youve rode a lot of dirt bikes then a 250 is to small. My old race bike a 99kx 125 could eat my 250 ninja. up to 80 mph.

I could only stand riding one for about 3 months. They are actually fun on backroads they slide really good. but the back tires so small they don't have enough surface area to really bite. And you can ------- launch them and hold the front up.....But riding with other bikes on a 250 is like riding a quad with a group of dirtbikes.

We aren't in the same world Dmc1. I want to commute and have a little fun. I have no interest in tricks nor do I have any intentions in traveling 130-140mph with a group of bikes. This bike would be used to get me where I want to go. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going quickly on curvy roads and such, and plan on doing so. I'm commuting to school next year so a bike will be very easy to park and cheap to ride if gas gets up to $5.00 like some predict. Plus they are look like a bit more fun to ride around.

Also Rawr, I'm going out on a limb saying a Ninja 250 is a lot more powerful than a moped. Average moped's top speed is 50mph I believe. Ninja 250 tops out around 110 and can cruise at 80 relatively easily as per all the reviews I've read. It just requires traveling at around 9000rpm.

I was speaking figuratively. You don't have to pull out statistics to prove that 250's are faster than 50cc 2 stroke mopeds.

Your 100% right. Using it for what you said aninja 250 wouldbe fine for you. and you can find them in great shape for around 1g. They actually pull fine with a passneger toso you can ride a girl around on the back. they actually feel more stable with a passenger.

I'm scared to ride a bike on the streets daily. I see too many ------- idiots on the road and way too many dumbfucks who mistake a stopLIGHT for a stopSIGN. :3

My biggest fear is obviously getting into an accident. I clearly don't want to get into one. Luckily for me my current job is only 10 minutes away and is all "country" roads. Still a risk for getting in trouble, but I think it will be a good group of roads to learn how to ride on. I'll move to highways when I feel comfortable and if I don't like riding, I'll sell the bike and forget about it. Thats kind of why I wanted to go with the 250 Ninja. Really low investment but still offers things like a great ride and water cooled engine. It offers a lot of things the other "lower cost" bikes simply don't offer.

i do that on purpose, BUT thats because i live in a small town and some of the lights dont work properly so running them can save me a lot of time, and keeps me sane, when theres NO one even in site. i usually do most of my driving at night. so if you can imagine a small town on a backroad where theres no one in site and having to wait for a light that takes its ------- time. never been in a accident with another car/bike, just one accident by myself when i was obvislously going three times the speed limit and wasnt thinking. was about 3 years ago. i run a lot of stopsigns and lights : ), i also sleep while i drive, and set the cruise for 110
