Good choice going with the 250cc, definately much better for a beginner. I'd also consider a slightly used one so you don't feel as bad if/when it gets dropped. One thing to look at is whether it is fuel injection or carborated. A good friend of mine got a ninja 250 for his learner bike (comfortable ride for around city) but by it being carborated and cold natured he has to start it 5-10 minutes before he can ride off with the choke off... A fuel injected bike would be easier. (but is hard to find in anything less than a 500cc)

By the way, those pics are funny as hell James!
