What do you all think about the 2008 Ninja 250r?

for your size i would go 650r but thats just me talking

[zerocrash]

I'm new to the forum, and new to bikes so hopefully I'll get a little patience with this I'm 6'2", 185-190lbs and I'm looking for something that I can ride to deliver paperwork between offices in the city. I'll be on the thing probably 2-3 hrs on average so a normal crotch rocket had me concerned with comfort. I went to ASK in GC today to sit on one and he didnt have anything in stock but the salesman told me it sat a lot like the 650R but the seat height was a little smaller, by like an inch. Its a little more upright than say the zx6/10 so I think my lower back would be thankful. I'm not super concerned with power as I'd really like to get something that wont kill my back and gets STELLAR gas milage. I dont get reimbursed for gas so its coming out of my profits. In your opinions, based on what i've just provided, do you think I should be considering the 250r? Thanks!!!

No, not for someone your size. The 250 does get great gas milage, but any of the 650's will still get at least 50mpg, which I concider stellar.

You should go with the 650r

Has any thought about a 650, like the one Kawasaki makes? The 250 seems a little small.

repeat mention of the 650r is fun, but i think the 500 would be a better choice because of the gas mileage, which is higher if you drive it with no concern for quick acceleration.
