Well my freind you have to ride this machine you have to choose the best bike for the style of riding you're into. You're just lucky you dont have a wife that when you tell her you're buying a bike says - Do whatever the Hell you like!!! but after you buy it, you discover do whatever the Hell you like in woman speak really means if you buy it I'm leaving!!!! I need to get a proper womans dictionary but the bikes here to stay!!!!

I wouldn't bother with that dictionary, the only rule you need to know is:

The woman makes the rules, if a man finds out all the rules she will change them

Any bike is a good bike. Just get out and learn, do your apprenticeship, pass your test and meanwhile save your pennies for a goodmachine that fits your tastes. If dad's gonna buy then choose something cheap and disposable...he'll thank you for it for not hitting his wallet too hard.
