FC, I love motorcycling, much more than driving...

Don't think about which "bike", learn and perfect the skill... Or even before that, try it out and see if it is for you.

You'll gravitate to the right bikes over time. What you learn on, matters less, other than low power, light weight and smooth operation will help. Take the weekend MSF course... That only qualifies you to go around the block. Get a versys 300 or cb500 (f or x), quite used, or similar... Buy a ton of safety gear (more important than your first bike). Start going around the block, widening your circle, gaining experience and speed. Do that for a few months.. Then you'll be ready to shop for a bike. Don't do an FC and start thinking back from your presumed use case. Just learn the skill safely and enjoy. You won't burn much money, but it will require genuine focus.
