its too late to convince me to buy a ninja 250 as a first bike, ive already bought a 1995 ninja zx6. I've heard all kinds of horror stories of beginners attempting to learn on a 600 sportbike...but I'd like to hear some success stories. If you learned on a 600, tell me about your first time riding it. Did it scare your pants off or were you ok? If you want to post responses like: "I hope you're an organ donor", please refrain from doing so.
