Ms. J Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Thanks JulieJulieJulie and cmoosego for checking out CL for me. I have been looking on there. Most that I like are too far away, but I am still looking. Maybe over the next few weeks some will post closer to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I started on an sv650. I'd see a 250 getting real boring real quick since riding is all you'll be doing as soon as you get a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 this from the guy who totaled both a 500 and a 650 in the same year...Yeah, thanks douche. My boredom made me push myself more and more...leading to wrecking both of them. I don't plan on slowing down, only becoming better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hummingbird Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 welcome! have you thought about a suzuki gs500 ? they are just a tad more powerful than a 250 and not as intimidating as a 600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure, I have waited a long time for a bike. Might as well get what I want instead of settling for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah, thanks douche. My boredom made me push myself more and more...leading to wrecking both of them. I don't plan on slowing down, only wrecking harder and faster.Fixed that for you. Not slowing down lead me to wreck the Kat, a mistake I didn't make again when taking the RR on the same run. I think you would be better as a rider dropping it down a notch. Or, if you aren't willing to do that, do it on the track in a controlled environment.

I planned on starting track days this spring...but then got volun-told to go over to Afghanistan. On the other hand, if anyone here says they go the speediing limit while riding country roads is a complete liar. I only pushed myself like many other people have done before on this site.

drew95gt Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) The 250 Ninjas are fine bikes, but you WILL grow out of it quick if you are like most riders. I started with a 2004 Ninja 250, it was very forgiving to noob mistakes and easy to ride...you just have to rev that bike to death to get it to move. So, it lasted 1 season and now I am riding a Z750s. I am glad I started on a smaller bike, but kinda wished I would have bought a Ninja 500 or GS500F for the first bike as they won't bore you quite as quick and IMO are better for riding on the highway. So my recommendation...if you are buying for looks, then get a 2008 or newer Ninja 250R...if you want to really learn how to ride get a used Ninja 500 that you won't mind dropping once or twice and getting a scratch on while you practice. Good luck with whichever bike you get!! Edited April 25, 2010 by drew95gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. J Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hey all! I ended up buying a 09 Ninja 500 almost 3 weeks ago. I am in love! It doesn't seem too powerful, but I have only been riding around home and not over 60mph. I am a new rider so trying to get to know the bike and how to ride. Having a lot of fun so far!
