It's fairly heavy for a sport bike, and it also produces 85hp, which I think is too much.

I want a Ninja 250R as my first bike (ever). I want that sportbike feel though so when I move on from the 250, I was wondering if a Ducati Monster would be a logical next step? by that point i could probably get a 696 for a good price but is that too much of a jump? my ultimate goal is to ride the 848, but I hear the Monster has a less "sporty" seating position. besides learning how to ride a bike properly I also want to get used to an aggressive stance while riding.

After a year or two on a 250r, you should be plenty experienced for a Ducati Monster; even the 696. Hell, most people jump to a 600cc bike, which has ten to twenty more horsepower. A Monster would be a great bike as a second bike after the 250 Ninja.
Oh, and thanks for the info, Kodiak kid. I'll try putting that bike in the list tomorrow some time.
