Meh, my first bike was a 08 CBR1000RR. Been riding it for three years now and no accidents. Just cause your bike -can- do 200, doesn't mean you -have- to do 200.

No matter the size it's all about your respect for the machine (Scooter or Motorcycle, Crotch Rocket or Cruiser). Get cocky or arrogant, and your likelihood of going down goes up, period. On any machine.

Stay safe, stay aware, stay alive. Remember, throttle all the way back is generally -not- a good idea on the street, no matter your skill level.

Personally, in that price range, I'd look for a CBR600. It all really comes down to taste though. You've said you want a motorcycle. So, you want a cruiser or a rocket?

EDIT: Mimi, your sig is mesmerizing.

Best post that I read. I'd say a ninja 250 or early 00 cbr600
