I am 19 years old about 6 foot and a little over 200 pounds. I plan on taking a motorcycle safety course soon and then getting my license. Eventually after that I would like to buy a motorcycle. I have never ridden in my life, but lately I have quite a passion to. When I first started looking I thought for sure I was going right out to by an R6 or a Gixxer but I decided I don't want to end my life so soon. After looking around I've been considering both the Honda Shadow and the Ninja 250. I am honestly looking to spend less than $3000. Please let me know if these are good options or if you may have some other ideas for me. Thank you.
