Hi Jampot. You sound very unsure about even what style of bike you'd like. I'd advise that you start reading reviews, Bike, Ride Mag etc to get an idea of what you want. A decent all rounder is as mentioned above the ever friendly CBR600. It is a fast bike though, so maybe a more comfortable, less extreme Fazer 600 or similar would be up your street. You may even fancy a big Scooter, Burgman, Silverwing, X9 etc. Once you've done your DAS you'll have a bit of a feel for a big bike. You say you won't do much wet weather riding, but bear in mind that once you've filtered through traffic in 1/2 the time on a few days, you prob won't want to go back to your metal box. There's plenty of water/weather proof clothing out there, and a bit of rain is nothing to be scared of. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll wish you came to biking years ago, there's nothing like it.
