[QUOTE="mprvise, post: 1475701, member: 13058"] Another vote for starting smaller/lighter then going from there. The SV650 or Ninja 650 (twin) would be great choices for pure easy to ride street bikes with plenty of power. Honda has a new CBR250 coming out and it's getting great reviews. The WR250 is a great dual sport as is the DRZ 400 (which I used to own) but you won't be spending much highway time on those - underpowered IMO and not very comfortable. Super fun around town and on backroads though. I started riding in 1983 on a Yamaha 185 then moved up to a Honda VT500 Ascot from there. I've only had one street crash in nearly 30 years of riding and I attribute some of that to really learning how to ride on small bikes that are much more forgiving. Currently riding a Triumph Bonneville and Yamaha R1. The R1 will be sold soon so I can get a Yamaha Super Tenere. [/QUOTE]
