yea i dont want a 6k+ bike for my first one, and I want to become REAL comfortable before i'd get something faster. Also, avoid any newb mistakes as dropping the bike etc etc.
/sigh
I'd maybe try looking for the older model or something else. Guys are selling used 08 Ninja 250's for $4k+ here and the word is to check back in the fall when they might have them in stock.
