I am 51 years old and have zero street time. I'm planning on attending the MTC training soon so I'm thinking about a first bike. I've done a lot of reading and looking which has lead me to strongly consider a used Honda CB500F.
Since safety and learning are my primary concerns I wanted something with an upright position that's fairly light with enough power to practice on the freeway as well as the surface streets. I really want to build my confidence to the point where I feel comfortable and in good control of the motorcycle itself.

My questions:
- Is my selection of bike (Honda CB500F) a reasonable choice?
- Are their any other bikes that I should be considering?
