+1 for the bandit...the 600(or 600s)

for all the people who think newer 600 sport bikes are great starter bikes you're nuts, the newer ones anyway, a 10-15 year old 750 will get blown out of the water by a newer 600, the technology and power-weight ratio of these new crotch rockets is insane, some able to reach over 100km/h in first gear....right, great learning bike

A sport touring (standard, traditional, naked) or a cruiser would a be a better starter bike than the 600cc crotch rocket, IMO anyway

If you really want a sport bike grab a 250-500

We're kinda lucky in AB not having GDL for every biker, such as other countries in Europe, where you have to start on a 125cc then take another test, then you can get a 250-500 (iirc) then a test, then a 600-1000, then a test and finally unrestricted after that, being lucky also means there are people owning and riding 1000cc+ bikes who have no buisness doing so

big ego's flame on! haha
