There are different terminologies when it comes to selecting your first bike. Some say get the smallest cc you can find and older the better cuz you will drop it. While others will say get the happy medium and go for a 600cc as you will quickly outgrow the 250,500, etc. If you are dead set on getting a bike and you feel comfortable get the one you want. I would stay away from a liter bike if you have never ridden before in your life...dirt/street. But if you have then learning on a liter bike can be done just know that a twist of the wrist is a lot different on a big bike vs a 250cc. A 250cc will be a lot more forgiving than a 600cc..1000cc etc if you make a mistake. A mistake on a liter bike will either have you sitting on your *** in a turn or send you flying from a high side or some other nasty scenario. With that said ride smart not stupid and invest in the proper gear...helmet,jacket,gloves,pants,boots. Sweat is easier to wipe away than blood. Once you go down once you will be sure to wear you gear next time.
