I had been planning on buying a CB500s from a mate but passed my test on a 650 bandit.
In hindsight I think I should have bought the 2002 model that had been lowered instead of the 2001 bike I got. Years ago I sat on a mates Fazer and it bike with a weight I could manage and 95bhp seemed plenty when you're on a SR125
After passing the test it was a bike I could get on (struggled with a SV650) and was lighter then the bandit. I don't think they look bad with a bit of luggage on them and it's reasonably comfy.
