Take the advise of those that know what type of riding you are likely to be doing & make a short list from them to try. Get the one that feels right. A feeling of confidence is a big advantge when starting out. Good luck.

Ride lots of different ones and see what you like then. Example in a 250 I found I like the torque of a twin over the small screamer 4's. I found 4 a bit of work to keep in the sweet spot. Sound good though and when ridden well very rewarding.

Also discovered I like the way Honda's handle over most other brands of 250 L plater bikes. and believe me I test rode everything!
