Safety should aalways be your #1 concern. If your not thinking safety 100% of the time then don't get a bike.
First thing before you even think about getting on a bike is to take the MSF course and take it very slow and easay after you pass the couse to get comfortable with your bike.
Second thing is bike size. Don't listen to people who try and tell you that the Ninja 250 is too small and that you will quickly outgrow it. They obviously have never rode one. IMHO you are making a wise decision in contemplating buying a 250R.
Being scared in the begining is a good thing. It keeps you safe. As you ride more and more your confidence will grow.
Remember - ATGATT, ride safe and have fun.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Maybe you can convince him that although he has been riding for a while it might not be a bad idea to join you in an MSF class after he heals up.
