[QUOTE="squeezer, post: 935591, member: 2381"] I snagged a beat up '98 Ninja 250 for my son to learn on. I picked it up for under a grand. Good choice because if he dumped it in the parking lot (and he did), it was no big deal. It also fits him well. I also added a rule (based on great advice from rally pal Tony Lewis) that he couldn't ride it the first season unless he was riding with me. That not only got us out together a lot, but with a bike-to-bike comm system, I could give him advice as we were riding. This summer will be season 2, and he'll get his first touring experience in June when we ride the BRP down to the Dragon together (his high school graduation gift from me). I think he'll be sufficiently experienced by the end of that to let him ride alone without worrying too much. Those ninjettes are really fun to ride, by the way. [/QUOTE]
