FXR150 or Yamaha Virago 250?

[NeN]

I have been given the choice for a first bike out of these two. My mate has offered his Yamaha Virago to me for 1000-1500ish and I have noticed that the fxr150s don't sell much over 1500 usually on TradeMe. Which would in your opinions be the better option for a first bike?

I am also looking at reselling this and upgrading when I have accumulated enough to upgrade.

If you think there is a better option than these two then please state as well but be aware I am limited to $2000 for a first bike.

Both are good bikes. Both completely different bikes...
I suggest you try as many bikes on for size and go from there
