Speed is relative to your environment...

Something is wrong with me I guess..

Sometimes the car feels fast. Sometimes the car feels slow. Usually I'm over the speed limit. Sometimes I'm significantly over the speed limit. In other cars, I can be way over the limit without even trying. Not so much in the FRS. To go way over the limit, I'm revving and shifting.

But the car is not short on power. The engine is just fine for getting me there. I like the mechanical din. I like revs and clutch and shift and revs and clutch and shift. Hey, I'm doing 70 in a 55. LOL! In a couple of my other cars, I'm going much faster by then.

Don't put ice-cream in the red circle. Green ones are just fine for that purpose

BTW I love the way my trunk is.. I think it is more practical like this.

When you get one, don't be to quick about taking the training wheels off of it -

Lol training wheels can be fun. I did take the course/evaluation on a Grom, which is essentially a set of inline training wheels with a golf cart motor between them.

Ya know, I probably shouldn't get a sport bike, but I want a sport bike. I think I'm cautious and big enough to handle something up to a 600cc, but smaller/lighter might be a better play. Maybe a mid-range Honda's and Yamaha, based on internet reviews, but I'm not buying anything new right now so it really depends what is available.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm 6' and 200lb

MT-07, SV650, Ninja 650(parallel twin), CB500F. Those are all right around the 65-70hp range, the CB a bit less. They can be riden hard by an experienced rider, but are pretty mild and not too bad for someone inexperienced. So they are something you can grow with but are not crazy fast like other bikes in the 600 super sport range.. More upright riding position too so they are reasonably comfortable. There are smaller options too, but people tend to grow out of them quickly. Get out and test ride some. Even just sitting on them at the dealership will give you an idea of what you will like, and not like.
