No but it means you guys cant put every single “noob” rider in the same category. Is the ninja 250 a good bike for beginners? Im sure it is. Are some beginners more fit for a 600?

Is the ninja 250 a good bike for beginners? Im sure it is. Are some beginners more fit for a 600? Sure I know plenty who started out on 600’s and can ride good I’m not saying 600 are absolutely offlimits to noobs and everyone should start on a 250, not at all. I’m saying 250 is simply a better way to start. It’s cheapo widely available bike that will teach you all the basics and you can get onto whatever else afterwords. If you crash - no big deal. 600 are more expensive - price insurance and maintenance, and if you decide you don’t like inlines or sports in general, you’ll have to sell it all the same.

Its just as cheap to buy a used 600 depending on if you are buying a new 250 or used one. All depends on your comfort level on a bike and price range [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/novice-bike-ninja-250r-input-comments/242115.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/novice-bike-ninja-250r-input-comments/242115.md?page=6)
