    Really you can find the 650gs in 4k area all day long and I have seem them as cheap as 3000, on a fairly regular basis.

    Seems like in Insurance would be sky High on the 250 sport bike as compared to a Dual sports.

    I so want a R1200gs (adventure) Bike. But really I cant have a motorcycle again, I nearly killed my self repeatedly on the ones I had as a kid and my senior year in HS. I know I cant trust myself on one, and its been 12-13 years since I have been on one.

      I'm 6' 3" and was around 220lbs at the time I had my ninja 250R, it was comfortabler.

        Thats good news. I believe the newer ninjas are a tad bit bigger too.

          Congrats.

          I'm in the MD/DC area (live in MD, work in DC) and ride to work almost every day. Let me know if you wanna go for a cruise sometime.

          Also, Just buy a 600 and start with that. You will outgrow anything <500.

              I actually live in VA and work in DC. I would love to go ride once I get a bike. I need to start with back roads and less trafficked areas before I hit the highway to work. I am really considering a 250 for insurance purposes, but wouldn't mind a 650cc intermediate bike, like a Ninja 650r or a SV650s from suzuki. I really don't want to finance it though so I am trying to stick to $4k or below.

                buy used whatever you do for a first bike. maybe a little cosmetically messed up from someone else for a cheap price.

                it is your 1st bike so you WILL wreck it atleast once. better to not have a big investment into a really nice bike.

                    It was a long weekend. The saturday sunday class is 8 hours a day and 10 of the total hours are on the bike. It was hot but a ton of fun.

                        Wow, the one we were looking at was two weeks long on sat and sun, is it really 8 hours a day? We might wait till winter if it is

                          Thinking an Enduro 400cc style upright for awhile or 500-600cc street bike non sport bike so to get some miles under your belt.

                            Took this class through Harley Davidson a few years back. We rode Buell Blasts, 400cc one-lung bikes. I am 6'1" and those were probably too small for me to own. Congrats though man and good luck finding something.

                              I would never, ever consider getting a 250, under any circumstances. Try a ninja 500r if you're not concerned with good looks. Its not as fast as a 600, insurance isn't as bad, yet its 50x better than a 250 at highway speeds. You don't have to worry about getting run the fuck over trying to merge onto a freeway, and God help you if you need to pass somebody with less than 5 miles of free space and a good tail wind on a 250....

                                Mine was only one weekend so thats why it was jammed in there. Like I said it was pretty long but totally worth it.


                                Thanks for the suggestions guys. Has anybody had an experience with a 2006-2007ish Suzuki sv650s? I am finding some reasonable prices on them and insurance is not too bad for me @ $50 a month.
