I just finished my MSF course and got my M license last week. I am currently looking for a Ninja 250. Like other posts here, I've been told to skip the 250 and go for a 600. However, I just don't feel comfortable with a big bike yet. So I figure the best alternative is a 250 with a "big bike" look. This being a 250 forum, I'm sure you will agree with me. If you have any advice for new riders, please post as I can use all the advice I can get. TYIA for all your inputs.
