So with that said I don't think you should go any bigger than a 500 but I also don't think a 250 is going to be good enough either. The 250 will seem fairly quick for the first 2-3 months but once the learning curve has kicked in it will be under powered sluggish feeling. So I suggest starting with a used 500cc, like a Ninja 500r. It will have enough power to make you smile, be fairly inexpensive on insurance, nimble and easy to handle. Look for one 2-3 years old and it should be about the same as the 250r is new.</p></blockquote><p></p>
