I first learned how to ride on my 1996 Honda XR200R, then moved to my brothers Honda Nighthawk 450 (rode on the weekends). So I know I am still a beginner but I do have some experience, I have rode my buddies custom SFV650 (he is shorter). I do not want to much more power then the 600 or 650 because it is unnecessary for my use. I am a 25 year old male, mature enough to understand the dangers and I don't do stupid shit on the bike. I am 6'2" about 210 lbs, and I would like to spend less then 00, so I know there are a few good bikes but I want some more input, Thank You
