Just took my MSF course and was wondering if a Honda nc700x would make a good beginner bike? I'm 6,1 and 180lbs?

I just stole your bike and car lol
I'd go with it but remember you're a new rider. At some point you scratch the paint when you forget to put the side stand down. Honestly, you need to sit on it.
I sat on one at a dealer and thought it was a fairly tall, fairly heavy bike, but I'm 5' 10 with a 30 inch inseam. Try riding one, dude.
Start with a small displacement, fully manual, secondhand bike.
You're in the right ballpark with a mid-sized "standard" bike that's designed for commuting and light touring. There are other bikes in the same category with engines between 650 and 900cc. Before you get locked into one specific brand or model, I'd suggest you shop around to see what else is available. Check out your local motorcycle dealers and sit on a few bikes. Take one for a ride if you can. You might find one you like better.
Yes I started on a Ninja 250 and my second was a sport bike zx10 and I felt safer on the higher powered bike see video below and then decide
In the UK you have to learn (and pass your test) on max 125cc. There are reasons for it.
Begin on a 700cc bike and you have a high chance of death. People underestimate the power and overestimate their ability.
- Which bike would be a good first sport bike. Looking at CBR1000/600's and also the yamaha R1/R6? I don't know much about the differences, I know some people are all for Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, of Kawasaki. Seems that whatever bike someone has, they say its the best. I wish I could just ride all of them and see for myself. Tampa, FL Sam
- What would you recommend as a beginner bike on my list? 200 cc dual sport (I will sometimes go on the dirt with it), a ninja 250, a ninja 300, a Honda cbr 300, or a cbr 500?
- What would be the kind of sports bike apt for a beginner to start-off? I'm new to riding bikes, and I've ridden cruise bikes( I'd like to start-off my sports-bike riding. For now, my options for a beginner's sports bike are a Kawasaki Ninja 300, a Honda CBR250RR and a 600RR. I could afford a budget around 6,000 USD to 7,000 USD. What, according to your opinion and experience, would be a good starter sports bike for a beginner? And what kind of technical know-how and riding skills should I be needing to work on, in order to use one properly?
- What's a good adventure type motor bike for 2 people to ride together, HONDA's nc700x? Anything better? Purpose is to ride around the bay area in san fran and take adventure rides to places like CANADA or Mexico (maybe)…
