The new ninja 250 is sufficient in the city where the speed limit is around 45, but not on freeways where cars travel upwards of 80. And trust me, if you are over 150lbs, any 250cc motorcycle will feel small after a week.

Bikes are extremely easy to learn and ride.
However, the traffic that surrounds you is extremely difficult to master and manuever about. You have to learn how to predict what people will do, and what your reaction options will be.
That is the trick -- learn to survive the road, and you'll be ride for a very long time.

Unless you have a passion to learn and enjoy a motorcycle, why would you want to spend 2-3 grand for a 250cc or 5-6 grand for a SV just to save gas? Wont that just cost more? it would take you over years before you can actually start saving on gas. That is not even putting insurance into consideration, if you are going to purchase it for your bike

Gas really isn't the only reason to get a bike.. My parents had harley and i drove them all the time.. I do miss and think about the passion of riding a bike. I would get one but i just don't really have the room to store it.. Its funny a few years ago i looked up the SV and thought that was a pretty decent bike..

Anyone here familiar with street bikes? I want one to ride to school and work, considering most of them get great gass mileage. I dont need anything super fast or fancy. Any recomendations? I craiglisted "streetbike" and alot of Kawasaki Ninjas fit the price of around $2000, but im not sure how reliable they are.
Oh don't be stupid, there really isn't any reason I should still be here after owning a street bike, just really lucky one of my many show off incidents didn't kill me, I think topping it out at 130MPH and almost going face first into the back of a truck that changed into the fast lane was the closest I ever got to death, another foot and I would have been hamburger meat as all the car on the freeway ran over me.
