I wasn't insinuating that people were suggesting I'd be reckless, just wanted to further clarify my desire to get into a bike. Sorry if it came across that way.

Also don't be fooled into thinking a SV650 or CBR500 etc means it's fast. CC's mean nothing and are just a number. Everyone has listed bikes that fit your needs, not crotch rockets. Check out https://cycle-ergo.com/ to find something comfortable for you after you've sat on a few bikes.

I like the CB500F quite a bit, the CBR500r is too racey looking for me. I love the look of naked bikes, not a fan of full fairing bikes.
I've heard that the SV650 is a great commuter bike, I'll take a look at those as well. Ironically, I shopped for bikes when I was 22 (actually was in the process of signing for a ninja ZX-6r before I amazingly realized I wasn't ready or mature for one yet, walked out of the dealer with paperwork half signed) and that was one of the three I checked out.
