I’m pretty sure I would like to go with cfmoto for my first bike. Their features and price are very attractive. Plus many local dealers carry them. Anyways, I’m struggling to decide between a sport bike or a naked style bike. I’m thinking the 675 model would be great to grow into as I learn.

I like the styling and design of the sport but I’ve seen in videos that sometimes they can be uncomfortable. To me it seems the naked would be less comfortable but I have no real experience with moto just mountain biking.

Any thoughts from more experienced riders? Or maybe anyone that owns one of them? Thanks in advance.

Why in the FUCK are you trying to kill yourself? You have zero experience and yet you're gunning for a bike that will hit 100 MPH (with a lot left to go) if you sneeze wrong. To put it into perspective, that bike will out-accelerate a C8 Z06 Corvette, and hang with a C8 ZR1.

Don't be stupid. Get a dual-sport, like a CRF250 or something. Or a Grom.

Something to keep in mind, as it also applies to motorcycles: "slow car fast" is far more enjoyable than "fast car slow".
