Cool thumbnail that 675 looks so sweet lol. Do you know what yr it is, and do think that bike would be too powerful for a beginner?. Ive only ever ridden the two days of the msf course 😬. I saw a used 2013 675 w 6k miles for $5500. Also I am considering the cfmoto 300nk $3k sticker price not sure what the otd price is, but that’s closer to my current budget. Or would it be better to just save up for something with more power?. Thanks in advance

The 675, or street triple in general for that matter, is not a great beginner bike. Just too much power and potential to yeet it. I think the cfmoto 300 is an AWESOME first bike. 300s and 400s are perfect all rounders (except the long highway ride). I'd definitely advise that first, and then move on when you're ready. The safety and peace of mind is well worth the extra coin you will have to drop along the way.

@@TheRiceRocketeerthanks for the feedback, and for being the voice of reason lol. My co workers say I’ll have buyers remorse if I start on anything less than a 600 🙄 I’ve only ever ridden a grom lol. Cfmoto seems to give you a lot of value for the price. I don’t plan on doing much highway driving so the 300nk might be a good place to start. For $3k I can have a new bike with a 2yr warranty. I may go to the dealer this weekend to sit on it. Thanks for the advice

Any time! I think you'll really enjoy the 300. Affordable, confidence inspiring, and gonna be a ton of fun. "Better to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow" is what they say. I buy new because of the warranty as well. I don't like scrambling to figure something out.
