My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
HDTBoy basically says it straight. If you can go option two. Stay away from single pot four strokes if you want high end speed.
I rode a GN after playing around with dirt bikes, it lacked a few too many things for me, started my riding on a Suzuki RG150, which had some comparable balls. Did my time and learnt a bit on it, was light enough to adjust manually if required but still allowed the weight shift riding.
I now have a SG350 (which has the R350 motor iirc) which is a lot of fun, transplanting it would be interesting, very torquey.
My advice is to take it slow, don't rush. Find a good bike, learn from it and do some miles, then 'upgrade' your bike then tweak your riding skills. The bike ride between a GN and a RG is a lot different, different styles of riding and approach to cornering.
I am now considering a 600cc bike, which I am drawing from other riders their views and inputs, but in the end it is what I am comfortable with and something that suits me.
