I took an MSF course a few years ago since I was a scooter rider and wanted to join the "real" riders (I had never ridden a manual shift bike before). After I passed the final riding test with flying colors, I was chatting with the instructor about bike choices. He said "you should get a CB1100." Boy was he right. Even though it is my first "real" bike, several years of scooter (Vespa GTS 250 ie) riding made it not really my first bike and it has been a great move up for me.
