Can you guys recommend me a beginner bike. I've been told ninja 250's were the way to go but I'm not sure if my height (6'3) makes me too big for the bike.

A 6'3 guys on a 250 is way to big. I started on a 250 ninja at 5'11 and it's not comfortable for longer rides what so ever. Slow up hill and not great with a girl on the back. Also you won't be able to lift it up if your into that.

Sit on a couple different bikes or test ride them if you could. Decide on how you like to sit: leaning forward or more straight up (zx6 vs 650 ninja)

Go slow around turns
