Thanks,Matt:)
If your experience with motorcycles has been looking and wishing, I'd start you on a 250. If you know how to ride already and yearn for the freeway, there's a big gap up from the 250 and 600 might be your choice. If all you intend to do is have fun on the weekends, the 250 should make you happy a few years. Even after riding more than 20 years, I don't need a 1000. That kind of power just makes you act a fool.
It's this way, 90% of the riders that have the CBR 1000 can't ride it well, That is a race bike with lights. A pet Tiger,docile enuf, but you can't turn your back on it or make mistake. The 600 is the same story,but a Puma. I'd go for the 600 and lots of gear. I was at the dealership today for an inspection, the seats are now vinyl covered pads, I'm too old now but they don't look comfortable. ANOTHER analogy, It will test you to reach your best riding skill, like standing over the edge of a building, you can't know where that line is until ytou lean too far.
