OP, highly recommend considering a 650 or a 500 to start with.


Most sportbikes make crappy beginner bikes...partially because they make a lot of power, but they are also not terribly comfortable, and all their power comes on strong up top...with little grunt down low.


The 650s and 500s tend to be torquier and have a more sane powerband, not to me mention a more comfortable arrangement.
