Take a MSF beginner rider's course so you can learn the basics.
Hmm...how about those Harley Dynas? They weigh in the 600 pound range I think.

I've been riding since June 2018. Since then I've experienced everything from Groms, to tiny two stroke enduros, to my beloved Goldwing. Something I've learned is that you really can't go wrong with two wheels!
I would recommend something like a Suzuki GS or Honda CB. These things are cheap, plentiful, and their engines come in a plethora of sizes. And there are so many versions of them from ones that look like Harleys to ones that look a quick fender change away from a cafe racer.
But yeah, to echo everyone else, do the MSF! It's so fun and you learn a lot!! It's free in my state so I basically recommend it to anyone who asks what's something fun to do during the summer.

My son for his first bike brought a 650LAMS Honda has 50 Crank BHP putting 39HP at the rear wheel has ABS and is a good sized bike.
Everybody years ago knifed the rice burners true they were lacking in some ways but right now the packages you can get show good value for your hard earned $ my son is now looking at an MT09 of which I am trying to hold him back this may sound unfair considering what I have in the shed.
But as he has only been on the tar for just over a year my aim is to keep him alive he is only 20 and does not have the experience nor restraint I feel to ride such an angry bike but did I ever listen to my Mum & Dad well sometimes I did...............

Good luck with that! I know if 20 year old "me" had had a bike like that, then it is unlikely that 50 year old "me" would be here to talk about it!My son for his first bike brought a 650LAMS Honda has 50 Crank BHP putting 39HP at the rear wheel has ABS and is a good sized bike.
