ive learned a lil more and really and looking towars a lil ninja250 withing the next 2-3 months.
i want a 600cc bike and love how they look... but after hearing of 3 close friends hurting themselves (one who almost had his head ran over in his accident) made me realize anything can happen. so ima look into a small bike now.
I always look out as much as i can on the roads for the bikers, and always ALWAYS give them room to pass. and give them room when i pull behind them.
and around where i live ninja's are only like 12-1800 depending on year/cond.

Is your first paragraph meant to imply that you want a bike to save on gas vs. a car? If that is the case, I would advise against this course of action. Don't buy a bike to save money, because you really are leveraging your personal safety against dollars and cents. Do it because you want to ride a motorcycle.
Also, as I've stated before, if you plan of doing any freeway riding I would avoid a 250; they just aren't up to the task. Check the 500 or a used 600 or something.
I'm glad you're looking out for the bikers on the road. It's a nice feeling to see someone make more room for you because they took the time to notice you.
