I'm not saying no beginner can do it, but it makes it way harder to learn your fundamentals and younger riders tend to not have the best discipline.

I do want to add a street glide or road glide to my collection mainly for interstate travel and comfort, but my 1200 is perfect for me to commute to work and weekend rides on country roads and such. I thought about a street bike, but I feel comfortable riding slow and loud. Time to time, I'll ride a little adventurous dangerously and get it a little pass 70 mph baby! Yes sir I will

    As far as non-heritage bikes, 500-650 cc range is so much fun for so many reasons. They can be light and torquey as hell with a high compression 2cyl or surprisingly high-reving, fast and flickable as a 4 or 3 cylinder. They can be made into off-road, street, naked, sport, or whatever.

    After riding a Honda moped for a couple years in southern Italy, I moved to Las Vegas (because even I thought a moped was unsafe in that town - dangerous drivers) and bought a used Honda CM-450. Saw its twin in a shop a couple years ago and wanted to walk over and pet it. 10,000 miles a year on that bike for 3 years, ranging from San Diego to Dixie National Forest in Utah, from Death Valley to North Pole AZ. Rode back up to the Nevada Sierras last September and it was more beautiful than I remembered. A bike is what you make of it. The only time it lacked power was when I turned a corner on I-15 diectly into a 70 MPH sand storm.
    Keep up the good work, Yammie!

    I have 2 sons, one that lacks finesse and I recommended an FZ07 for him. He's had it since launch and it's been perfect for him. My other son is lean and extremely agile, I found a broke FZ8 for him and it's going to be a track bike. Bikes should be suited to ones skill level. A twin cylinder 3/4 liter has a nice torque curve and is a bike that one doesn't immediately outgrow. A 3/4 liter 4 cylinder is a high revving monster and can't be compared to a twin. Choose a bike that suits your skill level and try to buy your first bike used.

    Just so people know if you want an RS660 but only have an A2 license they sell an A2 version with a 94HP engine rather than the 100HP engine. This way you can legally have it restricted. If you live in the UK / EU just ask your local Aprilia dealer and they will get one shipped out to you for no extra cost. It will be restricted already from the factory and with most other bikes you have to pay to have it restricted with a kit afterwards.

    I started on an Cbr600rr last year. I put around 6,000 miles on it in one season & fell in love. I was able to get away with starting on a super sport bc I have self control & you are really only breaking the law if you are revving the hell out of the thing. I’m so glad I didn’t settle for a v twin or a Cbr 650r because the fully faired in-line 4 has been something I have always wanted. I personally wouldn’t say settle for something you don’t 100% want. I think as long as you have self control than you can easily get away with starting on a Cbr 600rr. I can’t say the same about the other 600cc class bikes though bc I haven’t ridden them. I hopped right on the Cbr for a test drive right out of the msf class & had no problems at all. I ride a 2008 Cbr 600rr btw.

    Low speed turning on CBR650R is really not comfortable at all.

    I think the Ninja 400 is probably the best on this list, simply because of its price and the reliability you get with Kawasaki.
    Yeah it’s not the fastest but you can abuse the hell out of it and it’ll keep going.
    You can wind it out pretty good and learn some techniques or take it to the track and push it to the limit.
    You can rip the fairings off if you want, through some 30/70 tires on it and see how you do off-road.
    It’s engine is a masochist for punishment and the bike just asks for more.

      Though i believe you'd outgrow the ninja 400 too fast. It is actually pretty fun to ride. I've ridden an older model once and it was surprisingly fun. Weird clutch, kinda aggressive seated position (at least more that you'd imagine it to be), and not the best suspension but pretty fun though. It's a real weekend toy.

    • @TheOnlyRaichuu

      I have the previous model, the Ninja 300. Still riding it even after about 45.000km and it's still going strong as day one, no issues every. Of course properly maintained.
      I'm getting a new RS660 currently as second bike but honestly, the Ninja 300 is so much fun, incredibly smooth and so sick with all the exhaust pops (Akrapovic slip on, no dB eater), I'll never sell the bike.
      I've test driven the Ninja 400 when it came out, too. It's just like the 300 with a bit more torque, I imagine it will last just as good if not even longer.
      If anyone thinks such a bike is quickly out of fun, they have never tried one of the little ones properly. I'm still quite away from truly pushing the bike to its real limits (not my personal limits)

    P.S. I’ve owned 4 motorcycles
    1996 Honda VT600C 2007-2010
    2009 Kawasaki Ninja 650R 2010-2011
    2015 Honda CRF250L 2015-2017
