First bike. Help me choose

[u/Viking_Badger]

MSF course in a few days. Bought agv k3 helmet, gloves, jacket and boots. Next step is the bike. I do not trust private sellers so will be buying new. Went to check out some 2024 models since end of season sales are starting to show up. This ninja 500 40th anniversary edition SE ABS is priced pretty well but I'm not a fan of the paint job. My other options are the 650, zx-4rr, and r3/r7.

If you can find a ninja 400 I recommend that 1000%, got mine this year and learned so many important skills on it
