I would recommend a Honda CBR600 of any sort. They are Honda, and that means it will have good solid handling but still handles better than the rest, has street value, is reliable, and is not going to let you down. If a 600 doesn´t sound right, get a CBR1100XX. They aren´t as light, but they have very much street value, still handle like a honda, they go wicked fast, have an awesome look, and all hondas are easy to use and won´t make you struggle with it. Don´t get a Suzuki because it will break down and won´t be comfortable and just isn´t as good as a Honda, Yamaha, or Kawasaki. Research those three companies on your own and it is CERTAIN that you will find a bike exactly right for you. Good Luck. RIDE RED (or blue or green, just not yellow)
