Answer
There is a perfect bike for you and its called the Kawasaki Ninja 250.
You can't get one new for that price but you can get a used one. You want to get one that has over 5000 miles or so (in my opinion) and here is why.
When you first get a bike like the Ninja you have to drive it very slow while it breaks in. Then there is some very costly maintenence (but needed) to do during/after the break in period.
You'll see some bikes that are used but they haven't even gone through the break in period and now the person is selling them??? Why??? Well, most likely they can't afford the $500+ or more that has to be spent on doing the maintenence after the break in. So try to find a bike (Unless you don't mind spending the extra money) that has gone through that break in period and the maintence.
I have put two links below. The top one is of a used ninja and the bottom one is the brand new 2008 Ninja but I must warn you, your mouth is going to water for that 2008 but its in the $3000+ range but thats for a new one! It will be easy to find a used one in your price range even if its a 2007.
I own a 2003 and its so dang fun. If you are looking to drive on freeways dont get the ninja 250 but get a 600 cc or more.
The cc is the power of the bike.
250 is good for any kind of street driving even 60+ mph driving but for freeways get a 600 cc bike. They are expensive to get unless you get a Suzuki Katana but those puppies weigh like 400-500 lbs or so. The Ninja is only a 300+ pounder which is pretty light.
Also you can rent the Ninja 250 if you don't mind plunking out $190 - $200 bux to test drive it. I saw online that you can rent bikes from certain rental agencies. Check out the links below and especially the top one. Look at the photos and also read the guys review.
I ended up getting a 250 after reading that and I do not regret it. I have had zero problems with it.
If you are going to get a bike I must tell you some things to look for ok? WIth bikes the tires are a lot more important for your safety than tires on cars per se...
I cannot stress enough the importance of having good tires.
Make sure there is lots of tread left and don't mess around with a bike that has bald tires, just move on and buy a different bike.
Also tires on bikes tend to be more expensive than car tires, I kid you not lol. I also own a mercedes and its more expensive to tune up a bike than it is my mercedes.
It's more expensive to get the oil changed on a bike than it is a car.
All that being said, for your first bike you will not regret a Ninja 250. Its cheap to maintain and very very very very VERY good on gas.
Ok bottom 2 links. Top one is the review of the 250 Ninja and the bottom link below it is the mouth watering pic of the 2008 ninja 250.
