Ahh I thought it made more than that - but even so it looks like fun. :)

Yeh indeed the ninja 250 looks very similar to the NSR except the ninja is obviously more powerful!

MSF course + Ninja 250 was perfect for me, maybe not for everyone.

I was at the dealer looking at an Intercepter and he told me he sold a newb a ST1300 (my goal bike) as a first bike. He said the guys doing well... But not for me, certainly.

The Ninja 250 may be a little high on the center of gravity for learning, but it was so light that it didn't make much of a difference to me at 175 pounds, 5'9" and like 32 inch inseam.
