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 Please explain this “more fit” comment and “ride good”. Are you saying they were better off and were in better shape starting bigger? Please use details. I mean why doesn’t everybody start on a 1000 then? No need to upgrade from a 600 which you would get bored off. Or is there anybody that thinks that starting on a 1000 is _gasp_ **a bad idea?** --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/novice-bike-ninja-250r-input-comments/242115)._
