Thats cool, thank you, but about 1 month away from have that amount. If could get it, looks nice.

Thats cool

How is it in the low gears. One of the problems I had with the 250 Suzuki's in the MRC was that in first gear it sucked going slow and I had trouble with slow maneuvers unless I put the bike into 2nd gear. I think that is one of the reasons also that the instructor suggested a bigger bike. I am tall and will the ninja 250 be comfortable? I dont want to be uncomfortable riding otherwise it will make it not good for me riding the bike and and will cause problems with me learning to ride better. I want to get a R3 because it fits me well but need more money

If getting to work was safer and more convenient, I would save up longer but this is getting not good. Plus I am seeing lots of deals for bikes around 1000-1500 dollars.

The roads are between 35-55 mph

The katanas too much power? I am concerned with the tire width on the 250s, I had a sports car in Japan and I put bigger and wider tires to handle the power my car had and to help with traction.

Ok the 250 is too small? I want a bike now. I need a way to get to work. I ride a bicycle to work and part of the way is a industrial road with semis. Sometimes its dark when I get to work. I have a bicycle with a light but still dark and dangerous. also some days when I walk to work, the nearest bus stop from there is 40 min walk. I havent been in the country that long, and only have about 1200-1500 dollars saved up. I have seen some old early 2000 Katana 600s for about 1000 dollars.

Found a 250 Ninja for low price. I sat on them before and felt I was too big for it. With this be ok for a starter bike? Enough to get thru daily traffic and long rides?

Hello sorry for the late reply. How much are you selling it for?

I went to try on gear, I tried this jacket on https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/cortech-vrx-air-jacket The stores here dont really have a big selection of jackets. Most of the jackets were for touring type bikes. All textile. The leather jackets they had were not summer and looked like the type you would find at a dept store for normal wearing. Not really any boots could try on, had one or two touring boots no perforation. Small selection of gloves, well at least with armour and for street bikes. Mostly gloves for motocross, etc. No pants except for chaps and touring pants which looked baggy and hot. Lol. One pair of bike jeans but didnt have any kevlar inside. Tried a R3, well sat on it. Fits well. Tried a FZ07, well sat on it. And it fit well too.Saw acouple of 250 bikes from Suzuki, a ninja one from 2011 I think and something else not sure what it was. Saw a Joe rocket jacket that was mesh and textile. Most of the sleeve was textile except for the inner upper arm were it vented I guess. The front and back were mostly mesh with textile on the top and bottom and sides. Looked nice, with armour but as I read, mesh isnt very good for protection? Why do they continue to sell mesh jackets if it is not so good at protection? The salesman said that the FZ07 is good because it is only 300cc or something like that he said. It did feel light as did the R3. He said that the FZ07 has a linear power band so it is easier to get used to. Want to start buying gear but maybe have to order online.

ok, Is there much of a difference in stand still heat in the summer time with textile and leather? Yes pants. Looking at riding jeans

I have been reading what everyone has said. lol So with the gear, I have found some textile jackets with armour from 130 dollars up to 300 dollars. This any good? https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-airforce-jacket Whats the biggest difference in these jackets? 100 dollars-300 dollars? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2752/d/textile-vented-street-bike-jackets-for-men This ?: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/speed-and-strength-top-dead-center-jacket

ok So dont need gloves with the knuckle guard?

I see many different price points and sometimes hard to judge what is best or not.

I understand that, what do you consider cheap gear? The price or what things are made of?

I wanted to know if buying a 1000cc bike was worth buying if it was the same price or cheaper than a 500-600 bike as a beginner bike.

Yes that why I am asking. Some of the sports 250 are too small for me. Even the dealerships were like hmmmm. I dont want to buy a bike just because its a slow bike. I want a bike that I can fit onto, and enjoy riding. I dont like cruisers. My first class I took before, the class used naked Hyosung bikes. It was almost a full size bike with a 250cc engine. No problem. The bikes used in the class I just took for Ohio used small 250 street cruiser bikes, like the Honda Rebel. Too small and uncomfortable.

But isnt that a lot of power for a first bike?

Ok not eveyone who gets a liter bike for the first bike will crash or die. I am looking for 500-600 bikes. I kept coming across liter bikes cheaper than the other ones. I was wondering if they I have had classes by two different companies. I wanted to refresh the training I had before since I hadnt bought a bike yet and I wanted to make sure I have good skills before buying a bike. A person still have to take a skills test. Instead of taking it at the DMV, you take it in the class. They do not let you breeze by.

Thats what I was wondering

I am not saying I need a liter bike, I am wondering if I find one for cheaper than a 500 or 650 bike, if its worth buying.

The bike was too small for me and it sucked riding it. I have had training before so I am not new new. I just havent had a chance to get a bike. Ohio made me take the class again because they use a different company for the classes.

Thats what the rr stands for. The 600rr is the one that is discontinued?

Ok so like a CBR. Not trying to be rocket man, not racing on the streets.
