Is the Kawasaki Ninja 250r a good bike for a beginner like me and also a person of stature?
Not really! I was in the same situation a few years back. I went in to the bike shop and said look I never rode before what should I start off with. They pointed to the 250r and I bought it. Well, I am 6'0 tall and was about 200 then. It is a very short bike and although it is kinda fast because its a ninja, its actually the slowest ninja I believe and you will get sick of it fast like I did probably. It just made me feel like I was riding something shitty also when riding with my other friends. I traded mine in right away and ended up losing money and going with a Honda 929. Go with at least a 600cc at least you wont look like your riding the tricycle when your with your friends, and will be able to at least keep up. I think the 250 is not the proper size for someone of your height. Im wondering if they recommend it because youll be back to spend more money in the near future... Hopefully you can use a 250r or something similar just for the course and the test so you can see for yourself and it will be easier, but when your all licensed up and have been riding for a couple of weeks youll be so sick of that 250 you will regret buying it.
Is "Kawasaki Ninja 650R" a good beginner bike?
I am planning on purchasing my very first motorcycle, and have my mind mainly set on this one (650R). - 18 years old. - 6.06 feet tall. - Weight: 65 kg/143 lbs - Slim body Is it reasonably priced? Would it be hard for me to handle? How fast does it go? etc... I'm debating between the 250R and the 650R, and wondered which would be the better option for me, and why? Thanks in advance.
Is the kawasaki ninja zx6r 2007 a beginner bike for a 158 pound male?

Is Kawasaki Ninja 250 a good beginner bike for a girl?
Idiots! Saying you can't ride - HA! Show them! First check: http://cycle-ergo.com/ You can barely stand on the Ninja, you will be tippy toes, difficult to hold it up at a stop. You will find that a cruiser, with it's low saddle, would be far better -- you can hold the bike at a stop with your feet solidly flat on ground. Strength is not needed -- technique will suffice. You can easily put a dropped bike back on it's wheels. But it is easier to ride a lighter bike, which is why I ride my big single. Normally people will suggest you start with one of the 250cc class cruisers, the Honda Rebel, Yamaha V-star, Suzuki GZ250 -- all easy, all low, all at about 330 pounds wet. But since all your guy friends ride, I would suggest my bike, the Suzuki LS650, Savage or S40 depending on the year. It is just 50 pounds heavier than the 250's, but with a 652cc single cylinder engine. It is not a fast motorcycle, only 30 hp, top speed about 85 mph -- fast enough on any legal street and 10-15 mph more. But it has torque, lots of low speed torque. Torque is what accelerates you at the green light. When the signal changes you will be across the intersection than any multi upto 1000cc. Tell you too small?! THEY are too big and heavy and SLOW (off the line.)
Is the kawasaki ninja 636 a good beginner bike for a guy who is 6.0 foot and 220 pounds?
I own a 636 and to be clear it is way more powerful than a suzuki sv650 and definitely lighter. the zx6r (636) is THE fastest 600 out there and is a formidable oponent to even the gsxr750 if in the right hands. I dont suggest this type of bike for anyone as a first bike(people say well it's only a 600) the thing is a zx6r, gsxr600, r6, or cbr600rr are all formidable to super cars. they will all accelerate 0-60 in about 3 seconds give or take, have top speeds of around 180mph and are only mathed in braking and handling by f1 cars. if you insist on getting a superbike then by all means the 636 is the cream of the crop in the middle weights(kawasaki is known for brute power and are much higher quality than any of the other jap bikes look for yourself), but if your looking for a sporty entry level bike you might be better off with a zzr600, yzf600r, katana 600 or 750, sv650 ext... all of these bikes are fast still and will let you 0-60 in around 4.5-5 seconds and allow you to hit speeds of around 140, they are also alot cheaper on your insurance and will allow you to gain the confidence needed to move up to supersports. hope I could help

Kawasaki Ninja 250R, a good starter-bike?
It is a great beginner bike. You will end up on the highway regardless of your plans, so I feel it is best to go with something that has fairings. Your best bet would be to go sit on one, put both feed on the pegs, and sit as if you were riding it. If you end up feeling cramped then go sit on either a cruiser style (Vstar 650) or if you are into sport bikes, then the Suzuki SV650 or Ninja 650 have a LOT of growing room (in terms of skill), and you will most likely never outgrow it as a rider. Keep in mind, do not go to a 600CC, they are very unnecessary, over 90% of riders on a 600 can't ride it to its maximum potential, so why bother?
I want to get a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R for my first bike. What are some concerns that experienced motorcyclists have right away?
There are no absolute universal truths on this subject, and opinions are strongly divided.I’ve known people who have passed their tests and taken immediate access to things like CBR1000F (not the 1000RR Fireblade, the *old* 1000F - Truck Drivers’ Sportsbike :-) ) Despite the predictions of imminent, violent death, these riders survived.I’ve also seen totally unnecessary crashes caused by inexperienced riders getting in too deep on too much bike, or riding too close to their own limits, so that all situations become perceived emergencies.First thing is: the throttle turns both ways and the brake is not an on/off switch. If you ride like an asshole, you stand a good chance of being wiped out early, whatever you’re riding.However, a note of caution: Depending on the model, you’ve got 90 - 110 bhp on tap. That’s enough to get you into a heap of trouble, very, very quickly.With more experience, you don’t get quicker reactions to deal with trouble. You do, however, get to benefit from (at least):being able to spot the things that could become dangerous before they actually doan organised approach to riding that enables you to plan your “out” from the danger that you identified earlySpotting the hazards early allows you to react appropriately (and timely), rather than in panicthe ability to filter out the irrelevant stuff that’s going on around you, so you can concentrate on what’s really important (believe me, when you’re making “enthusiastic” use of 100 bhp on a bike, you’re not going to process everything, so you’d better make sure that you process the right things)By all means, if you want to get the Ninja, do it, but please treat it with the respect it needs, and give serious consideration to a proper training program (and I don’t mean just up until you get your licence; an advanced course is money and time well spent)Finally, whatever you ride, remember to always “ride your own ride”. Do not try to keep up with the guy in front, because the guy in front might be Valentino Rossi.Have fun, and keep it sticky side down :-)
