I have been looking for a beginner bike for about 3 months more or less and have not really found what I have been looking for. The scooter world does not fit my look and they all appear so girly (no offense). I have read reviews on the Ninja 250 and all sounds impressive but I am an older guy, but not over the hill, and the Ninja looks more like a young mans bike. Any suggestions on a cruiser 250cc or multipurpose 250cc bike that I can check out?

Rebel is the first thing that comes to mind… take a look around the reviews see what you can find… look at most of the major manufacturers and see what they have to offer.
Welcome by the way!

Awww hey, what’s wrong with scooters? Or the Ninja?

And what’s over the hill to you?

Mind you, I’m in a holding pattern at 39, and didn’t think the EX500 (Ninja) was that bad of a influence when I got it. If I had the chance, I would have gotten the 250 instead…

During my BRC, I rode various 250s such as the Nighthawks, Rebels, Viragos and the Eliminators which were all pretty fun to ride on.

Although I think I’m more of a sports sitting type person than the cruising type? I just like curling/folding my legs up, not having them sticking out in front of me. 😮
