You don’t need a 650 – a 500 would be plenty. I mentioned those two 650 cc bikes because of their riding posture, not their engine size.
Don’t assume that just because you’ve seen more bad wrecks on sport bikes than cruisers that sport bikes are inherently more dangerous. They do tend to attract the kind of people who will ride dangerously. But it’s all about how you ride. You could ride a sport bike responsibly or a cruiser irresponsibly. I’m just saying that cruisers can go plenty fast too, and their wrecks can be just as bad, so keep that in mind.
