Before I even got my license, I got a 2012 FZ8, used but greatly looked after. Really a blast, does fast but is not overly so, handleable, compact, a real fun bike to ride as my firstie.

I wouldn't want recommend you the fz8 to a new or novice rider. Not because of the power or performance of it but because bikes like this are far less forgiving than a mt03 mt07 r3 etc, which are designed to be easier to ride so you can get the experience required to get something like a fz8 mt09 mt10 etc as your next bike.. don't rush it by going for a bike that will teach you the hard way when you can get a lot better as a rider on a more suitable bike
