My son had a few good beginner bikes

A Suzuki 500gs followed by a really cool twin ninja 650 turned into a naked bike.

When he was out of the country for a year and called me for advice on which bike to buy DRZ, CBR, VTR etc

I told him “ you HAVE to buy the DRZ”

If you don’t do it now you’ll miss out on the experience and never go back to try it, and if you do go back one day, it won’t be the same experience after being exposed to those other bikes

He was glad, even organized a local bush riding group and lead the rides.
But mainly commuted to work on it and had lots of fun and was glad he did
