I have no intention for it being my last. Just enough practice and time on it to graduate to a ZX6r.

Forget the people who downtalk the ninja 300/250. Its a great sportbike. I had my 250 for 3 years and smoked plenty of these so called amazing riders (amazing, just because they had a "big" bike) on their liter super sports on the track. It was such fun actually using every bit of power the thing had and maintaining its momentum (something I'd think 86 owners should appreciate) Get the bike you want, the one that gives you the most enjoyment and comfort. The 300 is a great bike to learn on. I learned a hell of a lot riding my 250r and pushing it to its limits. I regret selling it...Would have loved to make it into a dedicated track bike, and used my Triumph for everything else.
