I enjoyed the CBR, but as i said my time on it was limited. I can certainly understand the issue with getting to excited on a bike and am not looking to hit the twisties right out of the box. However, i do want something to learn on and something to continue to grow on. I like the thought of getting an older bike and while a Ninja 250 is a good starting point for some, i am a bigger guy (225 lbs) and a Ninja 250 just seems awfully small. I have read things that say the 250 is fine for stop light to stop light runs, but on the actual "roads" i want to stay 500 or above. This has also been the sentiment of my buddies who ride... Of course, they think i should buy something made on the other side of the world... That is why i came here.

I want to get the most bang for my buck and while i want to be careful with what i buy, i dont want to get into a situation where i am buying bikes every year.

Thanks for the input!
