I've riden for like 6 years. First and foremost, take the MSF course. It's like $150, 2-4 day class. They teach you how to ride a motorcycle, and you actually take the test at the end of the class. If you pass, they give you a certificate that you just bring into the DMV and you grab your license. Ninja 250r is a solid starter bike. You can go and get a 600cc bike (a sport, not a supersport) like a Ninja 650r, and you should be ok, if you ride safe. Good luck and always wear gear!MetallicaKings
This is what I did, but I did it through our local Harley dealer and we all went to the DMV on our last day and got our licenses. Even though I quite like riding a motorcycle I'm not sure I could ever own one. People around here (Chicago area) drive like f*cking idiot and I would most certainly get run off the road.

After taking a class and learning to ride properly you can decide for yourself if it's for you. It is not something for everyone.
