I would start with a 250 or a 500.. at most 600
if you mean a 600cc RR sportbike... it will have more power than the 1200GS. not to mention 100+lbs lighter.

i say get the 250 since you look like you have more sense than me LOL!

... then get whatever you want after several months, a year or whatever. and if i were you, i'd still keep the 250 for commuting... then use the sportbike for canyon rides and trackdays.
