| Re: beginner's bike Hey Tekrider, welcome to the Forum, just noticed this was your first post. Good to see you're asking the right questions first before just diving in. I think you should invite all of us to your place in Hawaii to help pick you out a new bike!  I didn't notice anything in your post or your profile about your age. This IMO is a pretty important element when seaking advice for a bike. If you're 16, guys might offer suggestions for something different than if you are 80.  Good luck and let us know what you decide on!

| Re: beginner's bike I brand new Ninja 250 is less than that. However, if you're set on something like the 600 I do think that is a little high. I've seen newer bikes for about the same amount and a lot newer bikes for not much more. I wouldn't go above $3500 for it but shop around and see what is out there in your area.
