    Old topic, but i cant sleep..
    Sooooo, dont listen to sales people their main concern is getting you into a bike, your about the same size as me, (5'10" and 215), my first bike was a Ninja 250r... after a few months of riding almost everyday. i got a great deal and upped to a 99 gsxr600... its scary hopping on something like that. Ive never before AND since been scared of a vehicle that fast

    biggest thing is, get whats comfy for you.. and altho a smaller bike is great to start... a bike's speed = amount of throttle you give it, all you have to worry about other than that is all the cagers who arent watching where they are going, which happens about every 3rd day ya ride heh.

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    yea a ninja 250 is a good start for a first timer, but most people grow out it it really quickly, as did I.

    If you are not comfortable riding yet, get a 500 or a v twin 650. those are great bikes to start out on also.
    if you are set on a 750, there is one for sale on georgiasportbike.com it is a 89 katana 750 for 1500 OBO. great beater to learn on and now worry about dropping.
