Hi, for a first-time bike you are definately looking at the wrong place. If you are inexperienced, please please please donĀ“t buy a v.powerful bike as you are likely to get yourself seriously hurt. I think a Bandit 400cc is about right for a first time rider, some would even encourage a SV 650 or Bandit 600. Try one out, I bet you will scare yourself silly with the SV or Bandit 600. They are very easy to ride but also have a dark side for when you want to be naughty!!
