Welcome, Vik. You should spend a bit of time sitting on each one (for 10 minutes or more). Buy the one that you feel the most emotion for. Personally, I'd go for the newer bike, but that's because I like nimble handling over engine power. It's likely to be more reliable, too. Both would make fine starter bikes.

Let us know what happens.
