My budget will be between $1500 and $2500/$3000. I'm looking at either the Ninja 250 or a 600cc bike for my first one. I understand the risks/liabilities of the 600 as a starter and I have read a lot of forums and researched a lot as to why it is a bad starter bike. I've also read into the 250 and I think I'd be happy with either one. It just comes down to what I can find once I have the money for a decent price. Hope I am welcome here!

More than welcome. Craigslist is my favorite route. Don't rush, though. And as for the 250 vs 600: the 250 is light and nimble. You won't regret it. Go for the upper end of that budget you mentioned and you could get a low mileage, fairly new ninja that will ride smooth as silk.
