I really hope I'm not having a midlife crisis. I have always wanted to ride but just never did.

I have a question, though I realize this site might be biased.

Is the GZ250 really better than the Honda's Nighthawk and Rebel of the Yamaha v-star 250?
Welcome to the forum :2tup:

Just one remark, I recently looked into 'forum lingo' and I think what you mean is 'lurking' (checking it out without actively participating) rather than 'trolling' (posting messages pretending to need help, just for the purpose of getting peoples reactions). Lurking is OK whereas trolling is considered not so good.

Well if you still have to learn - if you can ride a bicycle, chances are close to 100% that you will be able to ride a motorcycle !
Depending on where you live, you may have to go to motorcycle rider class first, they generally recommended that here.

Congratulations, you do have a midlife crisis. I had that too, last year, and would up with a nice GZ250 as a consequence. :rawk:

I'm not going to tell you which bike is better, because I just don't know. Read around. Try them. You are the ultimate judge of what you will get.
