The Ninja 650cc is a-whole-lot of bike for a beginner, it is a big bike. it will out-accelerate the Corvette C6 ZO6 60' per 60'. I started with a 2.19 s 60' @ 8.4 s 1/8th and am at 7.93 s with a 1.9 60' completely stock...this is faster than the ZO6, launch per launch 60'. "Yes, it is!" A Ninja 250cc was fine with me, to start-out with - High MPG's & easy to ride. I have owned both, & can't really recommend a beginner starting with a 650cc. If you live on an island like Puerto Rico, you will not need anything bigger than a 250cc. :owned:

The Ninja Double Post, deleted. Anyone know how to delete Ooops double posts?

I started on a dirt bike and soooo glad I did!!! Then took the class...then punked out when it came time to pull the trigger. I am crazy don't trust myself on a bike on a daily.. I'm still a bit immature. Take the class and have fun!!!

I bought an '06 GSX-r 600 and never looked back.
