    I'm ~190 lbs right now (And 14% BF to boot ;P ). I have never rode anything before aside from quad a few times and typical mountain biking. I'm getting my M Lisense in the summer. Also I'm only 20 so insurance is gonna eat me alive unless I'm able to convince my parents to buy it and have me give them the cash then have them register it as a company vehicle to evade an insurance premium. Also, no clue if it's relevant but in terms of the car I drive, it's a Benz Slk 55 AMG so I think I could handle a middle-ranged bike, but may just be my ego getting the better of me.

    With no riding experience, get something less powerful. Anything you get will be very fast enough to die. More power will only get you in more trouble. I have lost three friends from getting to much bike. You better start becoming more aware of your surroundings as you drive a car. Always look into side roads alleys and driveways.
