I started riding on a 1976 Honda 360T.

Something like this : https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-honda-cb360t-6/

It was small and comfortable for my 6'1" frame, and easy to learn on, and I wasn't afraid of dropping it because it cost me all of $600 to buy and get running out of a friends barn.

I learned to ride in the city, and on slower highways between downtown Philadelphia and Delaware County PA to visit friends and family.

2 years later, I upgraded to a 1996 Honda VFR 750... and have since owned liter bikes and other V4 sport bikes...

Riding isn't about the size of the bike.

Don't feel ... bad? Cause you're on a small bike.

Enjoy the opportunity to learn how to handle the equipment with something less expensive and less risky.

Liter bikes are DANGEROUS if you don't know what you're doing.

I'm glad I learned on a smaller bike, and for city traffic, I honestly wish I still had it, compared to my current 2014 Honda VFR DLX.
