I've got some great miles on a 250 Ninja and what makes them a great beginner bike is that they have enough horsepower and torque down low that they are easy to ride but as your skills progress you can crack that throttle and unleash some serious HP (well, serious in the 250 world). The rev limiter will kick in at 124mph but with the higher tech comes higher repair costs.

The Zong 200 or equivelant will provide many happy miles on a rather low tech machine that can be repaired more easily. It's a great bike to learn to ride and maintain.

Zong is only a "new" company here in the states. In their home country they have been around since 1992. They are also one of the most progressive companies, even sponsoring a MotoGP racer!
