first street bike?

good afternoon my morons! So I was thinkin about gettin a Kawasaki Ninja 250, a used good, my first bike. I'm "5'9, weighs 135 lbs. I used to race my Yamaha Blaster a while ago in wood and a few times on a track of MX. I did well. so I know how to use clutch. and I had my license for about 16 years now, and I always had a 5-speed w / clutch. my car is paid, new tires, new fuel tank, etc., so I transport winter reliable. So my question is will the 250 be good for me to learn? Will it be good enough that I do not want a bigger bike? I intend run or show. I learned in my car because the road is a jungle, and I tend to do the posted speed limit of about 93% of the time. DONT I like to go over 85 mph, even surrounded by metal. thoughts?

The difference between off-road and street riding is day and night. Off-road you do not pull 6,000 lbs SUV in front of you or cut you. Buy something used and inexpensive for a starter bike. Find something old, but not too old. You do not want something so old that it is a Junker, but not something so new that you'll feel bad if you gives. Find something in the 500 to 800 cc size. This will be powerful enough not to get bored too quickly, but not so fast that you will be afraid of him. Standard Search or cruiser bike for your first bike. They are more forgiving and generally have less energy than a sport bike with the engine of the same size. Although cruisers are heavier than other bikes, they have the lowest center of gravity and are easy to consider the balance weight. Stay away from bikes Sports for your first bike, because they require more skills. Go with a sports bike for your first motorcycle is like riding a car Formula 1 race for your first car, not a good idea. Also used sport bikes tend to be more abused. Consider adjusting the motorcycle. People come in all shapes and sizes. So do bikes. When you select a bike to look at how it fits your body. Ask yourself how you can put both feet flat on the ground. Ask yourself how well the sitting position feels. Did you reach too far to the handlebars? Riding discussed can get comfortable very quickly. The foot peg comfortable place? Does the bike feel too big or too small? A bike will not feel uncomfortable a lot of fun to ride for $ distance. However, a bike that fits you and will be fun. Avoid buying on the Internet. I would not buy a site ever motorcycle invisible. You can very easily end up paying too much for junk. Always make a visual inspection and test drive before buying a motorcycle. When you go to look at the bike, wear a helmet. If you do not have your motorcycle license yet, bring a friend with a motorcycle license and 2 helmets. See the section of your newspaper classifieds for local news. Some locations have shopper magazines with used motorcycles in your area. Reasonably priced used bikes are there. Be patient. Do not buy too quickly, but if you find one you like, buy it right away. If you find a good bike to start, please not because they can sell quickly. Do not focus on a particular brand. All trademarks mentioned are the same. Pay more attention to the state motorcycle. If the same brand were much higher than all other brands, it would be the only brand of bike on the road. In addition, if any What brand of bike was really inferior to other brands, nobody would buy them and society would be bankrupt. Learn on this bike. Make your mistakes subject. You will make mistakes. Almost all new riders lay their bikes on the side at least once. Would you rather make your mistakes in an old bike your beautiful expensive brand new bike? The most important thing you should do when you first bike is to take a course in vehicle safety. After being mounted to save time and some experience, you can sell your bike and start to get whatever you want. If is maintained properly and not abused, you will not lose too much money on your bike start. Put the money from the sale to the bike you really want. Right now, you understand this style bike best suits your style and needs. If you are installing on a sports bike for your next bike, avoid those that are used. Young riders think they are competitors on racing bikes and tend to beat the crap out of them if they are more likely to be abused. So if considering a sport bike, think of something new. I know that I used variations on this response before. However, I think it's good advice. Use your head when you ride. Remember, Stupid Hurts. Have fun - Ride carefully
