you'll get bored with a 250 in 2 weeks. If you are responsible and have good coordination, i'd start on an at least a 500. Probably a 600. I learned on a 30 year old yamaha 650 (2 cylinder), My first was a 600 Yamaha FZR, and i upgraded to a GSX-R 750 a couple years later. The 4 cylinder sportbikes are quite a bit different than a twin.

I'd recommend a used bike first... maybe get a used 500, ride it for a year or so, and if you still like it, pick up a 600 or 750 when the time is right...

Glad to hear you are taking the beginner safety course, smart move.
