Great advice. Maybe it’s my oldness showing again but I don’t think a 600 sport bike is a good “starter bike”. I learned to ride on a GS300L. Twin cyl 300 cc and to me that’s a great starter bike. Any 600 will break 100 without even thinking about it. I’d love to get back into riding but every time I look at a bike I picture my kid growing up without a dad because of some idiot pulling out in front of me and I just can’t justify the risk.
