New here and curious. I've been admiring the 890 and 790 for a few years now and I want to pull the trigger on one. I have never own or rode a street bike but i grew up on a few 2 stroke dirt bikes growing up. Im 28 and i drive for UPS for a living. Is it crazy to shoot that high for a bike? Im in northern VA (suburbs/traffic) but right near some nice windy roads. I feel like a 600 would be worse for a beginner atleast a parallel twin would have some consistency I think. Please let me know your thoughts, go ahead and grill me if you need to lol

Welcome. I’d say go for the 890 as most people who have bought a less powerful bike quickly want to upgrade once they’ve been riding for about a year. It is a naked bike so it will be more comfortable on your wrist and easier to handle than a true sports bike IMHO. You can always flick the power switch on “rain” mode too to limit the power while you learn and keep the throttle delivery smoother.
Whatever you do, ride within your limits and wear full gear!
