I'm looking for a bike to learn on, and from the past several hours of lurking it looks like the suzuki tu250x is *the* choice for starter bikes. My only concerns are, I'm 6ft and broad/muscular, and my girlfriend is a taller, bigger gal. I live a short highway run from downtown, and from the posts I've seen, it looks like the tu250x not as ideal for heavier loads and highway speeds. Another option I've found is, a dealership near me has a used 2001 Honda cb750, and it's slightly cheaper than a new tu250x.Obviously if I undertake this as a hobby, buying one now then upgrading later is a given, but what else should I consider? I'm leaning toward the Honda, because I'm thinking it will be a smoother, easier ride for the both of us into town, and if I want to, I could get it modded/styled later to have a cafe look (am I right in this? or is this only easier to do with the 70's era hondas?).On the other hand, I know that OOB the suzuki will be more user-friendly for a noob, and as such a lot of people get the tu250x for their first, and that I don't have to know what to ask about/check for when buying a used bike right off the bat. via /r/CafeRacers https://www.reddit.com/r/CafeRacers/comments/9nmzuu/solid_first_bike_with_growthmod_potential_tu250x/?utm_source=ifttt
