I agree 50%. For standard, touring, and cruisers, anything will do. I do not think a new rider should start out on a 600 supersport. It has to do with the riding position, the short wheelbase, the rake, the lowered bars, etc.

This would be best.
Do what you want. Just be sensible and don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions. It doesn't matter what you ride if you use your head. There are lot of people here who ride and wouldn't mind helping you out.
Do you think any of you can take me on a 250 on a short roadcourse?

I'm terror on a 250, that is, until I start scraping mufflers
