Yet I have zero experience riding one.
I know I will need to get a license, but would need to purchase the bike first as I don't know anyone with a bike to practice on. Have to do some research on this.
The main reason I am posting here is that I'm pretty sure which bike I want and I wanted to see if anyone here has experience with them. I want a street bike, but I do not want anything crazy fast, and it has to be smaller as I am only 5'6" and 135lbs. This has lead me to do some minor research, but everything I have come across on the internet is nothing but positive comments.
So, anyone have experience with the Kawasaki Ninja 250R? They're nicely styled, not crazy fast, get great mileage (50mpg+) and they're great for someone that is small like myself. The price is also nice, you can get a brand new 2012 model for about $4,000. I would have to purchase one new as I would need financing.
Any comments on experience with this particular bike would be appreciated. (Or just riding for the first time in general)
