You've got your head screwed on right for wanting a 250 as your first bike. I always shake my head when I hear about a newb that got a 600cc sport bike.

Definitely look used. The prices on used 250s are dirt cheap, and you can get most of your money out of it when you do eventually move up to a larger bike. Youll learn a lot on the 250 too. Just respect the bike, and dont push yourself outside of your comfort zone, thats when mistakes happen.

Also, take the MSF course asap.
