I'm not exactly following the general guideline for beginners, but for many reasons, the 500ra seems like the best bike for my situation (ABS option, half the power of a 600).
I'd be grateful for any tips you guys can give me for riding in a city like Vancouver or just in general anything that you wish you knew when you first started riding! First thing I want to do to the bike is to put some frame sliders on. Where would I be able to buy ones that fit and have them installed locally? Maybe I'll see you guys in a couple of months when I've built up the confidence in my abilities.

Nah man, just take it easy! You will be fine especially after prs, you do city rides with them also.
When you are actually out there real world I would recommend you take intersections slower than you would in a car. Left turning cars are scary as fuck and you never know whats going through their brains. cagers will be cagers.
Join the group rides and stuff when its posted! Everyone welcome, good way to learn local routes and such and meet the people of rs.
