I think a used Suzuki SV650 is a great bike to learn on. Given your tastes, a naked version might be tolerable. 
It's a little above your displacement range (power range), but IMO, it's all about self control. You can also make it a little harder to tap the power by keeping your wrist ****ed so that opening the throttle far becomes awkward. I had the same concerns about having too much torque & power when I was just getting started. However, I'm glad I didn't get a lesser bike than a SV650. I think I would have gotten bored within the first year.
I highly recommend a motorcycle safety course. If you have your permit going in to the ones here in MN, you can take your license test at the end of the class. The courses give great instruction, and allow you to make mistakes on a bike you won't give a sh*t about. |
I learned how to ride when I was uh... 12 years old I believe on a 100CC bike(around that range of CC). I go back to my country and ride my cousins bikes for fun. Its easy to do wheelies on em but i havent done that so far(too scared).
Thanks for the information brah.

Haaa, I knew there was one but I forgot about it because I havent been on for a while.
Lol actually 2 nights ago I had a dream of me riding a bike and seeing a BRZ on the road. WTF? I did not even think of bikes and FR-S/BRZ for a couple of months and this dream comes along.
Anyways i know that my plan would be to get a bike around 500CC in the power department so I can prepare myself for the bigger CC's. If this is the way then i might just get a bike in Pak for practice(around 500CC or so).
Save my money for the FR-S/BRZ for the states lols.
@KaliKev that bike looks nice but I dont like low seating positions, seems too laid back for my style. although it looks like a bad ass XD.
