...or a kawasaki ZZR 600? i have never ridden a bike but ofcourse i will take and pass the msf course. am 5'9 male 135lbs. i though about the ninja 250 but ive heard that it makes noise when it hits 80mph
the smaller sports bike would be better as a begginer, but the first rule of thumb is it has to fit you. You wont control it if it doesnt feel like part of you. Go down to dealer and sit on these bikes, 250 perferred but 600 max, and see what fits you best.
also check out this site for begginer sport bike riding tips.
