As soon as I saw Aprilla, Love those things. I want it. The Viper, and Fox body in his garage aren't bad either.

Kinda embarrassing that all those car covers came off right before he took the photos.
Must be a pretty drafty garage.

Start Small/Slow. Don't be a jack-ass squid and get a 600 super-sport as your first bike. Look here for suggestions . Be warnned even modern 400s ARE powerful enough to get you in trouble as a learning rider, however they also have room to grow as you improve. Though the clutch and shifter suck and I *HIGHLY* reccomend a brake upgrade on the older 350 bikes, a Suzuki DR(z) 350 or 400 is a fantastic fun time on two wheels that's beginner friendly. Comfortable, flexible, great handling (with the suspension adjusted correctly), fast enough to ride on the highway, just powerful barely enough to hoon, friendly enough to make learners feel comfortable. Oh, and take an MSF course , in most states it will save you money on insurance too! /obligatory multiple-time-broken-but-still-rides-because-it's-awesome-semi-crusty-motorcyclist comment.

I was thinking with starting on a 250, is that too slow? And yes, a safety course is pretty much a definite.

I was definitely able to get my Ninja to highway speeds, which you probably shouldn't be doing for a while just starting out. The first time you see the ground rushing by at 50+ you'll probably shit your pants a little.
If you don't know how to ride, a 250 is probably your best bet. Besides being lighter, easier, and cheaper, they're also popular beginner bikes, so they're easy to sell and maintain their value well if you decide not to ride or if you have the experience to upgrade.

I have plenty of mountain bike experience, but I don't know how well that will translate to something powered. I definitely don't want to be on the highway in the beginning. Thank you, looks like I'll look for a 250.

Nope! I started on a 125 ;) there are some great 250s out there these days, the manufacturers finally realized they were killing/paralizing too many beginning riders in the US by trying to sell them a 600 as thier first bike... Kawasaki Ninja 250 is fast enough and handles well enough you can keep riding that for a long time (if what you want is a sportbike), beware of the mid-period bikes, they have super soft suspension and were intended to be ridden by 95lb women... early and current gen are totally real-human friendly. I havn't ridden one yet, or know anyone who has, but the new Honda CBR250R looks nice... for Cruisers: Honda Rebel 250 is a nice little bike... also the Grom is fun on a stick, though maybe a little slow for out of town riding... and then of course there's the Cleveland Cycle Werks stuff, none of which i have ridden, but they seem to be getting decent buzz... I kinda want to ride a Hooligun-R myself...

I would like to start on a sportbike, however I may move to the Cleveland cycle style stuff after I get a decent amount if experience. Thank you for the help!
