I agree with all of the above. Snook your not a bad guy, that's just what person buying their first bike needs an experienced rider to go with them to see what the seller is trying to con the newbie into.

It may cost a little more, but it will be better in the long run because you don't have to buy like 16 bikes to 'climb the ladder'.

There's nothing girlie about a 600, but to get a 636 or a 675, that just shows your trying to make up for your own short comings.
650 excluded because it's a V-twin.
