Can't Decide (lemmy.world)

I’m pretty sure I would like to go with cfmoto for my first bike. Their features and price are very attractive. Plus many local dealers carry them. Anyways, I’m struggling to decide between a sport bike or a naked style bike. I’m thinking the 675 model would be great to grow into as I learn.

I like the styling and design of the sport but I’ve seen in videos that sometimes they can be uncomfortable. To me it seems the naked would be less comfortable but I have no real experience with moto just mountain biking.

Any thoughts from more experienced riders? Or maybe anyone that owns one of them? Thanks in advance.

I feel like the 450 would be the sweet spot, the acceleration will still be intense, but not quite so "I'm in danger" feeling all the time. I rode my buddies Hayabusa and honestly it was a little bit boring because I was basically at highway speed in second gear, and twisting the throttle with any umph made me shit my pants hah. So maybe not boring as much as not enjoyable for me

Good to know! I definitely don’t want something way too fast but don’t want to get something that feels slow either. Thank you!
