I am 6 foot tall and 210 pounds. Am I too big for a ninja 250?

 

Specs on http://www.kawasaki.com :

250 - 500
Overall length: 80.1 inches - 82.5 inches
Overall width: 28.0 inches - 27.6 inches
Overall height: 43.1 inches - 45.7 inches
Ground clearance: 6.1 inches - 4.7 inches
Seat height: 29.3 inches - 30.5 inches
Dry weight: 304 lbs - 388 lbs

I'm only 5'4", 130 lbs and I have no problems with my 500 (its a 94).

 

a little big for the 250.. the bike will move but not very well

you would be better off on a 500

 

how about me... im 6'1" and about 170... im shooting for a 250 because it would be my FIRST bike ever. i have never even ridded and no one i know has a bike... if i have to ill go up to like a 500 but i really dont want that much power to start off with...

 

I just picked up a 250, i'm about 6 ft, 165 pounds, working good for me for a first bike.

 

First and foremost, start out on what you are comfortable with. Go sit on one (250) and see how it feels. I would have started out on a 250, but I was looking for something that I would still want to drive in a few years. The bonus with the 250 - they look a lot sharper than the 500

I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs, I have a 500. I know the bike has plenty of power for what I want, but to be honest, I haven't done any 'exploring' with the power yet. I'm pretty much just putting around getting used to the bike. Someday I'll let her loose, but not yet.

 

Yeah I got a 250 sorta as a limit so I won't kill myself. I've had it two weeks and already seen all it can offer.
