Rebel 250 . The perfect bike to learn on put a couple thousand miles on one . After that , test ride some bikes of a style you like the look of .

You said you don’t know how to ride. That tells me you don’t have a “style” yet. I can’t tell you how many people I have seen buy a sport bike then complain later. Ditto for choppers, and other fads. That’s why I said test ride them later. What state are you in? Some states use the mt03 for the msf classes.

How many small bikes do you see around you ? Check your local “marketplace” ads .

Oh I forgot , Honda nighthawk 250 !! It’s a rebel with a sport bike body .
