    Yep a ninja 250r is a perfect machine to start on.

    If you want something that will thrill you , get a aprilia rs125, but being a 2 stroke they need to be looked after.

    Remember don't start on anything that is to aggressive if you haven't had any sports bike experience, they will catch you out and its miles safer to build up gradually.

    For you first bike you are already over budget. No more than say $1200 for the first one. Second thing is this. You don't have the skills required to run it in a safe and responsible manner. You may not care about what happens to you, but what you do affects the folks on the road around you. From your question I would say you are working on a budget, but have no real savings now. that means you will need to drop the budget down to about half of what you are thinking now. Just reality, especially if the purchase is 7 months away. Just going by human nature you are looking at perhaps a year to purchase something.
    The Polar bear has a good choice for a first bike. The Ninja is a good bike to start with, but just looking for a Sports bike" raises red flags with me. That is an accident looking for a place to happen. Be careful out there.
