need help

[prelude9797]

Im looking at buying my first sport bike. Right now Im looking at the new 2018 Ninja 400CC and the 2018 GSX250. The Ninja feels so comfortable and light but costs $1300 CAD more. Im scared if i buy the GSX Ill want a bigger bike sooner rather then later. So should I start on a 400CC?. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

250 or 400 ? Hmmm? It depends on your abilities.
If you have had experience and are a competent rider, then maybe the 400 is for you.
On the other hand you have no experience of the Powaar! these 400cc monsters can unleash and are just starting your biking life, then maybe a 250 would be a good place to start.

If it's going to be your only bike, I'd go for the 400 every time.

I enjoy thrashing my 250, but mostly as a change from my bigger bike. As a sole bike it would quickly become limiting and I'd want more.

The GSX250... uh... "R"... in particular is a lardy underpowered commuter in a plastic frock. Fine as a commuter, but not much else.
