> a ninja 250 is a sick bike if your a novice chick! if not wow idk…buy a 600 and becareful. if you respect the bike and know how NOT to twist the throttle to hard then you will be fine, and not look like an idiot on a moped w/ fairings.

I somewhat agree. I would never bother buying anything less than a 600. But i also have experience riding dirt bikes all my life so i know the logistics. For someone just learning to ride 2 wheels it might be a good idea.
