Not only that but you are only ALLOWED to ride up to a certain cc in Europe for the first few years of having a license. Given that situation, I'd "settle" for that Supermoto or that Derbi 125, or the Aprillia 125....

But that also have a LOT of cool small displacement bikes. Like the YZF125R, the CBR125R, Aprilias, etc, etc. Real street bikes, not dirt bikes.

Real street bikes, yes.........But a V6 Camry would smoke them. And I'm not sure I'd like to see what they feel like on the highway.

There is a lot of small fun roads in Europe, a lot less highway like we have here. The smaller bikes wouldn't be bad over there like they would over here.
