[QUOTE="twowheelnut, post: 271021, member: 10"] This is an excellent choice for a first bike or 10th, for that matter. It has enough get-up-and-go to keep your interest, but no so much as to make you squirt your shorts. The ABS can help save him from a lot of noob mistakes, just as it helps with ham fisted veteran mistakes. It's relatively light and flickable. gets great gas mileage, has dual sport capabilities and comes with a huge aftermarket farkle pool. And it's cheap to buy, run, maintain and insure. Oh, he'll be quite cramped on the stock seat, so you'll wanna go aftermarket or find someone who wants to swap a DL1000 seat for your DL650's. [/QUOTE]
