Hi and welcome!

:wave:

I love the Rebel 250 as a starter bike - it's the one I learned on in my MSF course and I really loved it right from day 1. I really wanted to ride the Ninja 250 and GS500 at the course but ended up stuck on the little Rebel because it just felt right. Good choice! ;)

You will love the 650 V-star. It has enough power for the highway, but it will not over power you.

It looks big because of the style. Big fenders, big tank, but it's only about 40hp. :)

The 650 was my first bike. It only feels heavy for the first few weeks until you find your balance.
