KawNinja 250: knees bent 81 degrees, body leaning 28 degrees
Suzuki TU250: knees bent 88 degrees, body leaning 14 degrees
V-Star 250: knees bent 121 degrees, body leaning 3 degrees

Assuming you are 5'8". At 6'0" the Ninja bends your knees 75 degrees, but your longer arms only hold your body back 26 degrees.

I just got my license and I want to know if I should start out with a Virago 250 (cruiser) or a Ninja 250 (crotch rocket)

If it were me I'd go with the Yamaha.

The Ninja, it's upright enough to be a standard which is a good thing.
BUT, go put your butt on both bikes, measure your comfort-zone and ride off a happy camper!

ninja is a better seating set up..

mid way between the cruiser lay back.. & the sports bike hunch..
