Are you in the US. I recommend you take a local MSF safety class that will also waive your dmv test requirements. I personally ride a f4i.

You don't want to go above 600cc as your first bike. Riding is experience+your abilities. I see kids getting r1's as their first bike when they certainly don't know how to handle it. If you want to be conservative go with a kawasaki ninja 250cc which u can practice on for a few months and then move up later on to a 600 or 750.

I would also recommend that you don't get a new bike. its not IF you will drop, its WHEN. No point in ruining a new bike's plastics especially when you are a newbie. make sure you get all the right gear helmet(snell-dot), good leather jacket, gloves etc.

Good luck with everything, riding is a awesome experience but also very dangerous. Just make sure you don't go above your abilities as you will most likely end up in a body bag.
