I just finished my safety riding course and now looking for a first bike. I was looking at a smaller bike like the ninja 250r as a first bike. However, I'm 6'2 and 220lbs. Is this bike going to be too small for me? Would it be too big of a jump to go to the ninja zx 6r? I am also taking the next level of safety riding courses too. You can never be too careful! Thanks!
 
Youre a large human! And the 250 will prolly top out at 50 miles na hour up hill and 85 or 90 downhill. On flat ground id say you could reach 70-75.

Id say with your size id aim for a 500cc bike, or even a 650. After 650 bikes kinda start getting big, but you have the weight to throw em around or keep em up. the only issue i could see in a bigger engine is not knowing the sensitivity of the control of higher performance bikes. So id suggest staying lower cc's til you get really comfortable.
 
not too sure for you as you 6'2'' but a cbr 250rr ?? its fast fun cheap and cheap too insure ( well where i live anyway) but i'm only 5' 7''....
