750cc I4, Probably could of handled a liter bike to start. I rode for years on dirt bikes before switching to street.

still on my first bike (750cc)
i think i should have started smaller.

i was originally looking for a sv650, but i bought my current bike
only 'cause it was a great deal at the time.

1,000,000 CC's.

750 actually.

Flawed poll options: 600's

600's should be broken into several categeories. At the very least 600ss and 600.

250 Honda Rebel. Only other experience was taking the MSF course. I am on the fence as to whether or not I wish I'd started on something bigger. I mean, I WANTED something bigger 2 weeks after buying the thing. Should I have? Probably not... As it was I kept it a year or so then bought the VFR. Worked out ok I suppose!

650 single (Suzuki Savage). Not much more git-up-and-go than a Honda Rebel.

Rode that for 6000 miles or so before upgrading.
