Cost is gonna be another factor. New or used for a 250?
New Ninja 250 costs about 5000 then add bout 1000 for gear then 900 for PRS then comes insurance which is probably only 400-500 ish. Total bout 8500?? Sound bout reasonable?

brand new 2011 is 4300, so out the door its easily over 5k with taxes, PDI and what not. you can get decent gear for about 1k, but it depends if you like the name brands. you got helmets from 200-1k+.
i got a jacket + gloves + helmet at modern for about $500 bucks when aaron still gave combo deals there. if you want something like alpine star, then you will be paying more for the brand.
do some research online on gear to get a better budget. motorcycle superstore is generally a common one.
insurance is about 400-500 for a 250. i believe thats without the theft and collision. for a 600cc, its about 900...
so at the end, i would say more like 9k. but thats with a new ninja. i would HIGHLY recommend a used one. you would easily save yourself about 1k - 2k depending what year you buy.
