I thought I'd bring this thread back into action. I'm looking for a motorcycle at the moment. It would be my first ever motorcycle. I rode a 50cc dirt bike one time about half a mile when I was like 12 so I'm REALLY new. I want a 250 in all seriousness. I know it's small and "underpowered" but that's all I need right now. I love my FR-S and all I'm looking for is a good looking bike that can push my 5'9" 140lbs body around. Anybody have any negative things or positive things to say about this idea? I'm 20 years old and my mom is scared to death that I'm gonna end up in a casket. I think I'm mature enough to not kill myself on a bike (at my own fault). Anybody wanna stray me away from the ninja? 250? Or motorcycles in general. Most likely I'm gonna end up getting a 2008 Ninja 250 regardless of what anyone says since I'm an impulsive little kid haha but I really would love to hear some feedback and if everyone discourages me it will probably be changing my mind. Who knows? Help?
