Ninja 250s are great starter bikes. The suspension can be lowered if you need it but you give up suspension range and some cornering as it lowers the pegs.
I find that my Ninja handles the poor roads better than my car but I have the older Ninja model which has softer suspension. I would expect the newer model would be a little more harsh but would not be upset much.
A magnetic tank bag is a convenient way to carry a small amount on the bike. Similar in size to a student back pack or a little smaller. They are easily removed and most come with some kind of shoulder strap.
