What do you think of the Ninja 250? As a starter bike?
Any alternative sport bikes?

A mate of mine was killed, in an accident, on one, so i've got a phobia, against them. In any case, though, there's a heap of 'em out there, and to pick one, without riding them all, would be foolish. Get your leg over all of them, then decide. You'll get too many 'brand faithful' answers, on here, to make an objective choice. Be your own judge, not someone elses deciple. What I, or anyone else thinks, about a personal choice, is invalid. Get on every make, and model. If you choose a Ninja, then all good, but maybe it's not the perfect choice, for you. Only you can tell.

It's the smallest sport bike, good starter, dependable. The best (if you can find one) would be a Honda VTR 250 Interceptor. Made between 88 and 91 they are fantastic. No comparison to the Kaw...Lotsa Luck !

It depends on what you want to use the motorcycle for. I think in general 250cc bikes will have a hard time maintaining highway speeds. People get intimidated learning to ride on bikes with bigger engines but you don't always have to go full throttle. If you get a stronger bike, you can always go slow while learning but once you're confident you can't always make a slow bike fast. I would suggest something bigger, that way you won't outgrow it as quickly.

Honestly?Most people would be against what i'm about to tell you,but it's from experience.The Ninja 250 is a good bike,but it is extremely frustrating to drive.Belive me after you get the hang of it your going to want to give it away.Its way to slow.My first bike ever was a 600 GSXR,and i did fine on it.I think you'll do fine on it,and it has enough power to make it fun to drive.And it looks really cool,opose to the embarsing 250.I'd go with at least a 500.

the kawasaki ninja 250 is a good bike but its not really fast... to learn your balance and stuff will be good but as far as after you have your motorcycles lisence youll want maybe a ninja 500 or so... the 250 is the first step up from a moped!!! lol.. good luck and im sure youll do fine...

Get yourself a 600cc or better, and a rice rocket doesn't make a good starter bike, you'll put it in the back of a car. Go for a cruiser-style, something a little more mellow. They go PLENTY fast for the highway...

well i owned one and i guess if you have never ridden before then it is a good learner bike. if you have then i would suggest something alittle bigger, maybe a 600. the ninja have very little get up and go and well is down right boring to ride if you have any experience. it took me 2 months to get rid of it and move up in cc's. hope this helps.

I'm with Redbull. Nothing wrong with starting small, and nothing wrong with STAYING small - but if you're buying it with the intention of moving on to something bigger later, you might want to save some time and go with a 500.
