Thanks guys! Appreciate all the info!

I have restraint I don’t wanna be a beginner and go hop on a bike that if I screw up while learning I could die I wanna have the more forgiving bike like you guys were saying earlier . Would I need to customize the 650 like I would have to the 250? My inseam is 33/34 I believe lol and what about new vs. Used? Would it be better to buy new that way it’s under warranty etc or used because ill probly lay it down etc

So what all did you do to make it work? And how is the ride/preformance of the 250 with you on it? I’ve seen tons of videos but there all small guys talking about the 250. I wouldn’t mind getting a 250 just wanna get a bike that once I learn to ride well I’m Not gunna want new one immediately I want it to last me a while before I crave an upgrade.

thanks guys! I guess next step is to goto the dealer and sit on the 250/650 and see which is more comfortable and go from there.

thanks for all the advice!! I was looking around online and noticed the 500r was discontinued. And as far as being set on a sport bike im not 100% set on it, at the end of the day i like the styling of the ninja series, and i also like the styling of other bikes but they are out of my price range. My uncle has a 06 harley sportster i think not sure but i love his bike but i know there is no way im going to afford that soon and i really wouldnt want that as my first bike. with the sportbikes the prices are usually under 5k and i been seeing tons of clean good cond. used ones for way under 5k so if i dump it or something its not a 10k+ bike. i never went into this thinking a bike would be as comfy as my f150 i know that there will be sacrifices especially being a big dude. i am just hoping to find a balance between beginner bike, styling, price, max comfort for my size!

Nice I am same position but not about to impulse buy I’m type of person to research and look at everything before I buy any recomendations on bike for a beginner that’s 6’6 280?

[Lurch9]

Yes taken them lookin at the ninja series love the looks, and after posting in the other thread I think 500r. Not 100% sure yet

[Lurch9]

Not to be an idiot but difference between 500r 600r that makes 500 more suited for beginner? And comfort as a tall guy you mean?

[Lurch9]

I love the ninja’s style what about a ninja 500r? This would Be the first bike I’ve owned rode my buddies couple times but still am very much learning, was originaly looking at ninja 250r but I’ve read that if your over 6’3 or over 220lbs go bigger so how bout ninja 500r

[Lurch9]

I been looking how’s the Kawasaki ninja 650r or homda cbr600rr compare
Just not a fan of the klr styling
