starter bike???

Take the rider course.
Buy a light weight "used" bike.
Pick a bike that is a few years old with low miles.
Choose a bike that fits you and is comfortable when you ride it, if you feel cramped or streached out it is not the bike for you.
If you don't like the used bike 90% of the time you can get your money back on it.
I have been riding for 41 yrs, so my butt has seen alot of seats.
