Default First street bike

I am thinking about getting a 2005 gsr400, but I can not find any information on this bike.
As I am new to riding on paved roads on size of bike im wondering if this is going to be a good choice.
Does anyone have any experience with this bike?
PS. I rode dirt bikes for years when i was a kid and I rode a scooter for the last 5 years.

The GSR series hasn't come to the US yet. I think the size would be fine for you if you're not a large person.

I meant that most of us won't be able to give reviews on those bikes.

I knew what you meant.
Im 6ft 180lbs.
Im taking lessons on a cb400 right now and the size feels good and I am comfortable on it, but a gsr400 is $5000 used and Im would like it to last me at least 2 years.

The GSR 600 is sold in Europe. I haven't seen many around, though. Kawasaki's ER-6 series is more popular. The smaller-displacement bikes (400ccm) don't sell at all here.
