[QUOTE="Blackoyote, post: 16742958, member: 158200"] Not going to read through all the comments, I'm sure there are some good and bad recs. End of the day, do NOT get any supersport (no GSXR, R6/1, CBR-RR, etc)...they are the absolute worst bikes for a beginner and not just because of the power. If I were you I'd consider something like a Honda CB300, Ninja 300, SV650, FZ6, Z650, etc...any of the small displacement 'sport bike looking' bikes or 650 sport touring bikes are great to learn on. Another great option would be a DRZ400 (S or SM, SM would be most fun if you can find one in budget). Get a good helmet and good gloves at a minimum to not be miserable after you go for a slide. Being new, definitely take the MSF course and practice braking drills a lot in a big open area. The brakes are one of the most powerful system on modern bikes that so many people fail to learn how to properly use...best to figure out the limits of their use before you potentially get yourself into an emergency situation.
