The practicality and reliability are definitely decisive factors alright! Seems sensible to start with something that isn't rocketship fast too... I have been getting tempted by new Tenere 700/ Tuareg 660 and even Norden 901 and Desert X but probably going to dampen those aspirations for a year or two...

Congrats!
I had an XL700 as my first "big bike" after passing my test.
Decent torque, can hit triple digits if you wring its neck a bit, fairly economical.
Did probably 10k+ miles a year on it commuting, had nothing more than an annual oil change and didn't skip a beat.
