Good evening all, new guy here, names John and I'm 18. Looking to get my first street bike this summer, and have been eyeing a 250r since they came out in '08. I was planning to get a 300 SE, but decided against it as I would likely finance the bike, and as I already have a truck payment I want to avoid that. I've decided that since a Ninja 250r can be aquired around here for under $2500, I will just save the cash before buying. A buddy of mine, who is also 18 and is also planning on a bike this summer (although the dumb*** is saving for an R6) has tried to advise me against it, saying that I will quickly get tired of it, and it is a small, boring outdated bike with the arrival of the 300. I disagree, but I wanted opinions of owners. Thanks all!
