This. At least strive for a 650 Op.

Also what state do you live in? Lane splitting is legal in some and illegal in others.

Get a grom, or maybe an electric MTB.

Just gotta be worried about it getting stolen. Even 250s can literally be picked up and carried off

i ****ing hate this dumb ****ing 'wisdom'. not everyone drops their bikes. in fact you have to be shockingly inept physically to drop your bike. it makes literally 0 sense to buy a trash tier bike you dont want as a stopgap to getting the bike you do want. i learned on a 750lb 110hp custom victory and as i am not a flaming pussy, never dropped my bike.

250 is practically a scooter, you can’t keep up on the highway. Need a 500 bare minimum and still that’s barely enough.

What's your price range? At minimum I'd look at a yamaha r3, suzuki sv650, ktm duke, etc. Need a little more info but I wouldn't buy a chinese bike I can't tell what the OP photo is

Hell no, 250 you’ll be hating life. Yamaha makes a good cafe racer 600, get last years model or a ‘21 for probably $4,000..I don’t recommend Ducati, overpriced & completely overpriced parts.

If he’s new to riding he will most likely drop or go down once, most do, especially in high traffic areas. Been riding for 20 yrs, I went down my first year but only because I was young & dumb trying to keep up with a friend, had quite a few close calls lane splitting (legal here in CA) but thankfully never went down. I’d buy a bike I liked starting out, but not go all out, to me that’s foolish.

Thats looks like a hipster wanne bike. You will have lots of issues with it like little repairs and the like.

You should certainly get some sort of ike but one from a reliable manufacturer.

i've owned probably 7 or 8 sport bikes over the last 15 years. Only one I didn't crash was the one where i bought a very cheap used r6 and the engine blew in 8 months

nobody should be buying a grom unless your abnormally short or wanna have a fun little mod bike.for what they are groms are a ripoff.$4500 for a little 125 that goes 60mph is not in anyway meant to be a real bike.they are fun to do tricks on though
