I made my licence on a CB, they are the beagles of the motorcycle world: good character and sufficient speed.
I don't have a personal experience with the '88 Ninja, but when they came out, many people complained that they were a female dog in handling and quite unforgiving when you make a mistake.
As you state that you live in a rural area, is an enduro bike off the table like you said in the OP, or didn't you just find one in your price range?
