Engine size matters, but it all depends on the engine configuration. Is it a twin? Inline 4? Maybe even a triple? You should understand the differences to help you make the right choice.

No offense, but if this is the only thing you "know" about bikes, then you should do a lot more research before even considering one.

CP is ok, but everyone has a different story/opinion. Maybe pick up a few books on motorcycles form the library, add that to whatever you get on here, and make your own opinion. Even something like Motorcycles For Dummies - I'm not even joking.

You asked for opinions on the following:

I see a bunch of bikes with different engine sizes, engine configurations, riding styles, etc.

At this point, I don't think it's much use to you to be shopping for a bike. Take the course, find out what type of riding you want to do, and then work out the options after that.

Just for the record, the 695 was replaced with the 696 recently.
