I am looking to get a bike this summer for Transportation/rec purposes, but I the only bike I have ever rode was a little 80cc dirtbike, and that was only for an hour or so. Im 25, 5'9" 160 lbs and have been reading up on Ninja 250's, Ninja 500's and SV650's. Not exactly sure which would suit me right since all seem to be touted as good beginner bikes. I will be taking a MSF course in June or July. I'm a college student so I don't exactly have the money for a new bike, and have had minimal luck finding a bike around me(a couple Ninja 250's, and an SV650 in my price range). I also need some gear, so advice would be helpfull on that. Thanks for the help in advance.
