Hey, new user and equally new rider. I haven't yet purchased my bike--I want to go ahead and take the MSF course first, get my license proper (I have a permit now, and have tooled around in a parking lot on a friend's Burgman a couple times.)
I was looking into buying an R6--err, that's a different thread. Seriously, though, I was looking into buying a Ninja 250, and was wondering if anybody had any experience with one as a starter bike. I've heard the "You'll get tired of it" argument enough, and I honestly don't think I will--but I figure even if I do, it's better to get bored of a slower bike and learn, than get scared on a b***** bike and spill.
Anyway, since this is going to be a starter, I'm not worried about horses, speed, et al. If anyone has some nice, verified(!!) information about things like maintenance, reliability, and gas mileage and wouldn't mind offering some info, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
