id recommend a ninja 250r. they can do 100+ no problem, they accelerate 0-60 in like 5 seconds, and get 75mpg. they are great great first bikes. not to mention they are light and pretty stylish. oh, and a 2006 with zero miles is under 3 grand.

My buddy's ZX6r next to me sat lower than my 250....
The bike is easy to work on, cheap to own, cheap to maintain, still gets up and goes and is a blast in the twisties.

I got a 91, Its decent. Perfect to start on. Ive had it 2 years, and im deffinately ready for something bigger. Paid $500 - needed a battery, rear brakes, oil change, and some paint. Got it yellow and repainted with spray bombz. Silver undercoat, Blue & clear coat.
