How about a good old fashion standard bike...good power and handling...if you drop it..not much lost..something like a Nighthawk,650,700 or 750.Suzuki GS line.You can move up after you ride for awhile.I would opt for a used bike and get used to Detroit rush hour traffic....just remember...most drives do not see motorcycles..
On another note...does anyone know of a shop that can repair a 1980 Suzuki GS850GLT ? I have intermitten spark knock.Most shops will not look at a bike this old.
