I don't. It's not a great bike for new riders. It has a bunch of torque off idle (compared to other bikes in its price range), very little rotational inertia in the engine making quick hits of acceleration and engine braking, it has a high center of gravity, and a high seat.
It's an awsome little bike, but not all that beginner friendly.
Ninja 250 all the way. It absolutely can be riden as fast as a bigger bike on the street. People who can't ride a Ninja 250 fast probably shouldn't be riding anything fast..
