best kids starter bike image
Joe
Hello I want to start motorcycling and want to start it off cheap in case I dont like it. I am 6 foot 5 and weigh 230. What would be a good cheap starter bike??
Answer
Anything you can find used. You can't really pick one, if you're looking for cheap. Being a rather tall person, you should probably go for a dual sport. They're more forgiving if you drop them, and usually pretty cheap used from families with grown up kids. Check craigslist.org, or the cycletrader religiously.

Answer
I completely agree with "defiant..." about the Ninja 250.
The only adversity I can see with your owning a Ninja 250 would be your size. The little Ninja 250 is a small bike.
You may want to go check one out at a dealer and see how you fit on it before buying one.
If you find that it is just too small (and my 15 year old son is finding his is starting to get too small), then you might want to consider a 500cc or 600cc bike instead.
After you take the MSF class (you are taking it I presume), you should be able to handle the 500cc or 600cc bike.
The bigger bikes will cost more than the Ninja 250, but used ones shouldn't be out of range.
I park lots of places cars can't get. Those little triangular spots right across from the front doors at Walmart --- nice.
At work there are these spaces at the end of each parking row which are perfect for a motorcycle. And they are right near the door.
Parking with a bike can often be a pleasure indeed. Plus the fact that you can still get them into the garage even when the kids have piled all kinds of crap in there.
