Dude, If you have never ridden street bikes before start small, Like 250. They are no where near the handling of a dirt bike. And if you dont ride Dirtbikes consistently i would suggest taking a rider saftey and training couse to learn the basics of riding, How to ride, signaling on the road ext. If you ride dirt bikes a lot you could get away with a 600 for a first bike. Street bikes don't corner, handle and the power delivery is nothing like a Dirt bikes. My 2 cents.

That 650 is actually a starter bike... a big one but it is one. Its definitely a better bet then the other two which will probably kill you. I would suggest a ninja 500 but the 650r is one step up. Not nearly as crazy as a normal ninja 600

Ninja!!!!!!!!!!! yo I rode one two years ago and now a ninja is my new goal in life. Trust they are sick! Don't go out and kill yourself though, it might be a good idea to ride something else first. You ride dirt bikes?

and check the mc cult

I'd start off with something smaller and work your way up Probably a Cagiva Mito 125 or even 500 if your feeling it. If you want something a bit bigger as your first back and possibly want to kill yourself go with a Ducati Monster i know they don't make any new 650's but check out like 04's or 05's i'm sure you could find something for a reasonable price.
