Hi,
I imagine like many others on here, the debate often comes down to the Ninja vs. CBR250. I appreciated many of the thoughts and opinions on the similar threads I read on here. Rather than hijack someone else's thread, much of the information I sought was covered in previous threads or other info I read on the internet.
Me: Beginning rider, 5'8, 170. I plan to ride almost exclusively on the street, especially early on to learn, maybe down the ride some possible highways action. Mostly day riding, with some light night riding.
From what I've read and seen, it may comes down to a few things for me. If all things were equal, it sounds like a CB250 would be the choice for me. However some things are not equal. I can get a 2010 Ninja for 3800 out the door. The CBR would be close to 5 G's. plus more for ABS. $1200 is a decent amount of coin for me. My questions are: As a new rider are ABS brakes something I should get? How much of a difference is the fuel injection versus not having it? Are these differences that make the CBR a better option, IMO, worth it price wise?
Thanks for any answers.
