A 250cc Ninja will have a lower insurance policy premium versus a 600cc CBR. The name "Ninja" means nothing. Unless you're referencing a new 636.

Before getting an SS for a first machine, you might want to visit www.msf-usa.org and do the Basic Rider Course. Learn first, get a small machine, get good gear, wear it always. Ride like you're invisible because you are. Getting an R6 or 600RR for a first machine is like handing the keys of a NSX to a 14 year-old who's never turned the key to a car.
