Hi everyone!

I'm new to this forum and new to motorcycling. I'm planning on getting my license and, if all goes well, getting a bike before the winter starts. I hope to get a naked bike for traveling around the country side when the winter is over.

I am strongly leaning towards a 1999 Honda CB500, but I'm also interested in Kawasaki ER-5
Honda CB 750 Seven-Fifty (though I think this is too powerful for a first bike)
Suzuki SV 650
Suzuki Bandit 600 N
Suzuki GS 500

Any reviews you guys have on these bikes would be very useful to me (especially the Honda CB500). Well, I'm off to go browse the forum now! :)
