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
Fast on a slow bike is better than slow on a fast bike maybe go somewhere in the middle. The 690 is a good looking bike. If you buy a 390 you will surely be bored and feel like you wasted money.
