VT 125 Shadow. If you can afford it. great wee cruiser bike and is only increasing in value. I loved mine, it was my first bike. Rode it for a while until I did my DAS.
Good luck you'll love biking.
Couldn't interest you in a 1993 Fireblade? |

I believe it is best to learn on a small, lightweight bike; maybe not a 125, but certainly a bike 250cc or less. Learn on something that is physically unintimidating, that you can physically muscle about until the fundamentals of brake, clutch, and throttle operation become automatic and you don't have to think about what you are doing. Small bikes allow you to pin the throttle at any time without potentially fatal consequence. Fortunately, small bikes also happen to be affordable, so you can learn basic maintenance skills at a lower financial risk. Chain tension, cable adjustment, valve checks; all skills that can be learned on a small bike. Even clutch diagnosis/repair, stator issues and regulator/rectifier problems can be learned on a smaller bike, but as a rule, reduced capacity results in a lower probability of problems in these areas. ____________________ History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men - BOC |
