I'd say go for the cruiser, since your almost the same age as me, the insurence for the ninja 250 is more than 200 a month. My dad bught a new suzuki 650 savage (Now the S40) for slightly more than the your used ninja, so you could easilly get a used one for cheap, plus the insurence is only about 80 bucks a month

Yeah, there is a HUGE difference.
I'm 21, and it was 80 bucks a month to insure me on a 250cc cruiser. It was only $10 a month for my parents (each).

That's a lot of money :shock:

Who's your insurance peeps? MetLife would only charge me $110 a year for a bike that cost about $4,500 brand new. They charge based on the cost of the bike. Though i need to at least have my endorsment for liscence. But the MSF course takes care of that :)
