I agree with linuxbikr. If you were looking for your first car, you would not be considering an F1 racer, a top-fuel funney car, or a NASCAR. The reason why you do not see reviews of the 500CC and 250CC sport bikes are because they are not the bikes that the MotoGP and AMA pros are racing. The low cost of motorcycles makes it financially feasable to be riding the same equipment that the pro's do, but that does not make it a smart choice for a beginner. Master riding on a Ninja 250/500 or GS500 first, then you will be ready for a racing bike. It will be much more gratifying to learn good riding techniques on a less powerful bike and move up to a racing bike that you can actually handle rather than pussyfooting around on the racing bike because you have not mastered the techniques.
