Would you guys consider a Ninja 500 more of a standard? I too am debating between the two, i havent sat on either but the thought of being hunched over a tank just seems uncomfortable. it seems like the 2000ish design of the 500 seems a little more upright and theres no huge tank to “hump” so it seems like a good first bike. I like the look of the 250’s but it definitley seems to small for me. (6’2″ 250lbs) my dream bike even though ive never ridden one is a Harley V-Rod muscle. i love the muscle cruiser look, and it seems fairly comfortable. it seems like a hybrid between the two, however spending 19k and having a 1000+ cc harley as your first bike is retarded to say the least, lol. Espescially when im trying to keep the cost of it down. I really want something to commute back and forth to work on and around here its half back roads and half highway. plus id like to do a little pleasure riding on the weekends. so i really do need like a good combo bike.
