Clearly, if you're on the 250rforum you don't need a site like http://www.bestbeginnermotorcycles.com (http://www.bestbeginnermotorcycles.com/) because you already know what the best beginner bike is, but this site goes beyond the ninja 250 and has good reviews, tips and information that is especially geared toward newer riders.

I don't know the people who run the site and I'm not getting paid by them in any way. Just thought I'd share some info.

In all honesty, that site seems just a little amateurish to me. To his credit, he's putting up some useful reviews and information, but his writing style doesn't appeal to me. And that video he did for that Shift women's jacket started off weird to me. Why did he have to hold the camera and point it at himself? He couldn't get a tripod? Or even rest it on a counter? He could have even left the camera pointing at the girl and talked behind the camera.

Anyway, sorry, I'm done ranting. The site does have potential.

The guy is definitely on to something, but when it comes to beginner motorcycles in the US market, the options are really the Ninja 250 and CBR 250. Hopefully the guy has more to talk about other than those two bikes and a few jackets.
