I did some searching around on the forum and didnt find what I was looking for, so I decided to make a post.
I am looking to buy my first bike. I am trying to figure out which bike should I get. a ninja 650r or ninja 250r. Again I am new rider, I just finished the msf class. Is a 650r to much of a bike for me??? How fun will a 250r be for me?
My main concern is SAFTY

A 250 will suit you just fine for your first couple years. If you are in NYC (the City) then traffic is going to be outrageous and I expect that the 250 would give you much more maneuverability in said traffic. You will be lacking in the power department though but I think you should still do fine. Being a brand new rider right out of class a 250 is the way to go and you can usually pick one up pretty cheep (around 2-3 grand). If you just have to have something bigger then the 650 is not necessarily a bad choice either.
