2) You will drop/crash the bike (eventually)
I was in exactly your position a few years ago and regretted buying new (i could have saved a lot of $$$) remember to factor in insurance (which would be huge for a new rider, like $1000+ per year) and gear (which is most important).
gluck to you!

Insurance will vary from person to person. But to pay $1000 per year for a 250 is a little crazy!! I don't even pay $200 a year for full cov. and this is my 1st bike.
