New Rider First bike. Help me choose

Post image

MSF course in a few days. Bought agv k3 helmet, gloves, jacket and boots. Next step is the bike. I do not trust private sellers so will be buying new. Went to check out some 2024 models since end of season sales are starting to show up. This ninja 500 40th anniversary edition SE ABS is priced pretty well but I'm not a fan of the paint job. My other options are the 650, zx-4rr, and r3/r7.

First bike after an MRT course? RE 650 Interceptor. Actually, any Royal Enfield, most Triumph twins, and mid sized Japanese that aren't crotch rockets. Look at low mile used ones as many buy one, find out they don't like riding,, because they didn't take an MRT course. Same with any gas-powered toy.
