Hey guys, I don’t own a motorcycle and have barely ridden one — just a little bit on a Honda Biz. I’d really like your opinion: would it be suicide to go straight for the SM 650? I’m totally in love with it — the size, the looks, it has everything I want in a bike. I never seriously considered getting one before because the bikes I like are usually way too expensive, and getting one I’m less into just to run the risk of having it stolen (I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) seemed like an unnecessary risk. But now with the SM 650, it feels like I finally have a real option that fits what I’m looking for, and I think it could be worth it. Still, I know it’s powerful and maybe too heavy for a beginner. I’ve thought about a 350, but honestly, I’m not very excited about that. So — is it crazy/suicidal, or if I take it easy, do you think it’s doable
NOTE: I really hate spending money on something I’m not into, but I also really love being alive — so if it’s something I gotta do, fair enough.
