But I also kind of want something stronger, but budget is an issue. I'm 18 and in college.
I'm 52 and I have 4 kids around your age (17-25). 3 of them ride with me. They all are still riding Ninja 250's.

Take my fatherly advice as you will, but skip the 600 for a first bike. Get the Ninja 300, learn to master it before you go to a bigger bike. You may think you want a bigger bike, but you really don't need a bigger bike. I've done 500 mile trips on my 250, gone camping, kept up with much bigger bikes just fine.

A Ninja 300 is plenty fast enough to get you in trouble. A GSXR 600 will kill you fast.
