Is a Kawasaki Z500 good to start off on?

So im looking for my first bike, and i have tried out a rebel 500, and eliminator 500, and both, I just felt were off for my ergonomics and the seating position wasn't in my favor.

I am now looking at a 2025 Z500 which is on sale for 5000+tax and doc fees (new). The Z500 fit my legs perfectly so they weren't cramped and was easily able to hug the tank and fit beautifully.

I know its similar to the eliminator in terms of engine and powertrain, but do yall think its too much or recommend something else?

Im 6 foot 1 and weigh around 165 pounds (75kg).

Failed The MSF today

So today after 4 private lessons and the MSF course, I had my test, but I just butchered it. I was good and instructor said I was good too for the whole course and even in the practice exam which had the same exact layout of cones, I passed with one mistake of putting my leg down, but man in the exam the following happened.

-Touched my feet during the Figure 8 U-Turn once

-Accidently put motorcycle into neutral when trying to shift

-Because of thay got so stressed out, I started death gripping.

-with all of this my brain was fried

They told me to re-do (retake) today because I was good for the practice, but I was so stressed out and shocked of what happened, I said I will do it this Sunday. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

I know im dumb and crazy, so feel free to say what you want.

Hello

So around four months ago I brought the 3 pack of the DECO BE5000 (BE25) from best buy.

Now, this month, they have been just been randomly giving the red light, and i have to unplug and re-plug for it.

Furthermore, the internet speed has dropped from an average of 2 Gigabit to around 800 wireless and 900-950 mbp/s to 400ish. (Comes with 2.5gig ports)

I have contacted support and they keep escalating it. I have given them enough proof , and they keep saying we are escalating it. I even went out and brought new routers, and gave them the speed test from those which were normal of around 900 mbp/s (Wireless)

The devices I used for the speed test are:

- Samsung S25 Ultra

- PC with Trendnet 2.5Gig ethernet PCIE card

I am paying for 5 Gigabit Internet from my ISP.
