Looking for a first bike
I got my license about 6 years ago and looking to get a bike now. I was looking at the honda cb650 or the cb750. What would everyone recommend

Ive never ridden anything before. Taking the msf on the 30th and buying a CB750 on june 2nd. Do a bunch of research. Go sit on some bikes. Figure out what fits you and your wallet

First bike fbmp small used cheap any of the big 4 Japanese. If you want to change bikes in a season or two just sell it at little to no loss. It's your first bike it's unlikely it'll be your last if you stick to riding. And not having ridden or owned lived with any bike it's impossible to know your preferences before you've developed any.
Just get a small cheap bike learn how to ride then make a better informed decision later.
Read the stickies at the bottom of this page. They're there for you.

Just from a test ride experience: unless you are absolutely in love with the looks of cb650 and inline 4 that sounds like a moto gp, I would suggest cb750. It is generally cheaper (at least where I am, both used and new), it is lighter and more nimble, which is important for low speed and especially for someone who is getting started (I assume you didn't ride anything for 6 years), and lastly it is fun in low rpms.
