the first bike i ever rode and learned on was a 94 ninja 250. My friend had bought it and over the summer, my friends and I, all took turns riding it to get used to handling, shifting, braking etc. Once i was comfortable on that, i found a 88 ninja 600 for 1600 and continued to learn on that. That 88 was still probably a 13 sec bike.
The newer 250s probably have the same amount of power, considering a 600cc sized bike can now get into high 10s just about stock.
On a side note, my friend is selling a '07 ninja 250 for $3,000 obo, It has only about 5 miles on it and some light scratches.
