I bought a Suzuki S40 for my first bike and am not sorry one bit that I did. It’s a 650 but a single cylinder 650 with a fairly forgiving powerband so while you *might* still get yourself into trouble, it isn’t quite a easy to do as on some other v-twin 650’s or 600cc sport bikes. The weight, seat height, and wheelbase are almost exactly like a 250, but it’s got enough power to maintain top end speeds better than a smaller bike. Do a lot of reading. The more you get stuck into your brain before you ever put your feet up on the pegs the better.
