To help you with the kick stand: If you are having trouble hitting the knob with your heel, try using the sole of your boots, like instead of pushing your foot straight down, tilt your foot outwards and sideways, then come in towards the kick stand, and use the sole and friction to “drag” the it down.

Those triumph 400s are manufactured here in India. I rode them last year. They really offer crazy crazy value, specially the scrambler one. And since we are talking about bikes made in India you should also check out Royal Enfield. I know you are not into classic bikes but they make some of the best looking classic bikes and they got rich history, basically older than harley itself. Continental Gt650, shotgun 650 and classic 350 are the once i recommend you to check out. cheers!

But because it’s so cheap and the fact that I live in a place where there is a lot of idiot drivers I wanted something that could get me out of a situation if I needed it to.

My first beginner's bike was a Kawasaki Vulcan 800. I owned that bike for about a year and learned how to ride and then I moved to a Triumph 600 TT. I owned that bike for about three years and them moved up to another Triumph 600 Sport Bike. I owned that bile for about two years and got pretty good at riding a sport bike 😎. In 2005 I bought my first Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe because I wanted to cruise and just relax and enjoy the view. I've owned several Harleys and I've become a really good rider. I now own two Harleys, a Vespa, and a new BMW R18B. I'm in the process of buying a 2001 Honda RC51 😎. Be safe and learn as much you can and always be safe 🙏😎.

I dont understand the theory of buying 5 diffenet bikes before buying a liter bike. How much money is that? To me its ridiculous. Be safe. Dont go places or do stuff your not comfortable doing. Take your time doing the basics. Stay off the highways forawhile. Just down the driveway or up a street and ba k for a week. Then a few blocks. Make sure you actually have your license. Go to a safe place where you cN practice tight turns and start stops. Stay in lower gears. Thats what did with the 765. It took a month or so before i felt safe enough for the highway. Even then it tooka while. I spent 10k.

No, too small. A Z400 or similar is great. It’s 350ish pounds full of fluid. Can do 80mph and is cheap to fix. Small bikes are great for low speed technical riding but you don’t learn any highway riding skills on a slow bike.
