Kromdom - I am a submariner. Are these things hatchable so I could take it with me on deployment?

So really there is no right one - just the one that feels right. Thanks.

as noted above.... take the class.... if you haven't ridden a bike in 32 years... you may as well think of it as ZERO experience.
If you take the class, and decide it isn't for you.... you're out $200 dollars... and you KNOW... if you buy a bike before, than you're out serious cash....
If you decide you DO want to ride (after the class) then whatever fits YOU...
you need to reach the groud easily, you need to reach the controls, and the reach to the wallet should also be an easy one.

Now... I catch heat for this, and I've saiod it before, and I'll say to anyone who askes the question you asked.

There is NOTHING wrong with buying a used metric and learning how to ride in the real world.
What you buy is YOUR business, and your's alone. Buy what you want, not because some guy online said you should.
