Well, the time has come. I'm done with dirt bikes and would like to get a fairly inexpensive bike to ride around town with. Target purchase time is somewhere between June-August. I'm heavily considering a Ninja 250r, 2008 or newer, as they seem to be a very quick bike despite being only a 250, and they seem great for starters. I've had numerous friends get hurt by starting on bikes like the Yamaha R6, or a GSXR 750, so that route isn't an option. I'm not gonna be the guy who pretends he can handle any bike, I want to be smart about it so I don't end up, whats that word? Dead. Not gonna happen. So, to anyone who owns/has owned this bike, what do you think? Open to other suggestions too! Thanks!
