Hi Everyone, Been scanning the forum but I know everyone is different. I'm a new rider and looking to purchase my first bike. I have some experiences with dirt bikes but completely new to riding on the street. I'm 6"1 190 lbs and 37...and need some of your help.
I don't want a race bike as I do want something that is comfortable but sporty. I like the BWM F900R and similar models but looking for feedback based on my size. I know you can't always look at displacement but think I may be a bit too big for the 300. The 1000 I think would be too much but as electronics improves with drive modes, assuming responsibility I guess it may not be out of the range.
I'm not sold on just BMW, just using it as a benchmark. My budget is 16-18k. Obviously if I can save some money, I would value this but wanted to set the top end of my affordability.
