Default New or old bike?

Im a new rider about 5'4" and just under 150 lbs. I just finished the MSF training course and now I am in desperate need of a motorcycle to get back on the road.(BTW i STRONGLY recomend the course, I thought of it more of a vacation than a training course and it helps alot on riding) I know I will outgrow a 250cc so i was looking towards the 600 to 650 class and now i have it narrowed down to two bikes, a used 05 Suzuki katana 600 and a brand new kawasaki ninja 650. The katana has about 5500 miles on it but is a good $1500 less. Is a motorcycle with that many miles worth it or should I just go with the Ninja?
