I have had 3 bikes, wrecked 2 of em when I was young and stupid (not my fault, but maybe could have been avoided) Bikes aren't that unsafe, but if you do have a wreck, the morbidity rate is much higher. I worked on a trauma team in a large city for a few years and most (95%) of the bike accidents I saw were drug/alcohol/speed related. That said get a bike- but not a 250 my wife bought an 800 (cruiser- no more sport bikes here) about a year ago and shes already taking my 1500 every chance she gets!...but if you do buy a small bike, get a used one so you don't take such a bad hit when you are ready to trade up!
