New-ish rider with a question or two for riders who have tried multiple different bikes
Hi, I've had an xt250 for going on close to a year now, haven't used it at all off road, I basically only ride on pavement, I just got to try out my brothers Daytona 660 and holy shit it was fun, but also kind of scary at the same time, especially when going from a stand still, never had to worry about flipping my bike because I put too much throttle in, but when its moving oh my god it felt so good, wasn't being blown all over the place, the steering didn't feel as unstable, the engine breaking was so much more powerful, I really liked it but it is a little to much power for me I think. What would you suggest for a similar feeling ride, but just a little less sporty? I want somewhat sport touring vibe but not a 600-700 lb beast, nimble enough to be fun but with enough power to feel comfortable on highways (I don't speed outrageously, and don't plan to, but being able to get out of danger is important to me) I was thinking the ninja 650 but I've never ridden a ninja and don't know the quirks they may have.
