your age... and never rode one. I suggest you should start something small. Get a 250 ninja. It's a great bike. Very forgiving and you won't find yourself flying off the road.
Even though I started with 250 ninja... I moved up to 08 cbr600rr. And I tell ya it's a whole different beasts. Glad I started and learned from a smaller bike

oh ok... thought you never rode one lol. Just checking... Well it depends on the insurance. but pretty good discount. As for which bike... well before I got my cbr I actually wanted gsxr 750 (aka squid bikes.) Lots of newbies jump to these bikes and barely have any clues how to ride and control themselves. But other than that the gsxrs are great balanced bikes and comfortable. I believe they're also the lowest bike out there.
2nd would be the cbr. great mid range power bike. it's light and very agile. Which to mention has Electronic Steering Damper. Also cbr is a comfortable ride (i rode mine for 7hrs from LA to SF) has slight raised handle bars so you do not put too much pressure on your hands. CBR will make you look like an experience rider even though you're not lol... The bike will just give you confidence... When you know you want to take that turn quick it's not going to give you 2nd thoughts it'll just GO.. lol
3rd will be ZX6R I rode my friend's 07 zx6r ... I gotta say it feels like that bike wants to kill me. Since I got use to taking fast turns with the cbr, the zx6r wants me to take it slow at some times. It just feels like i'll fall off. Not to mention it's a bit higher than the cbr and gsxr. But aside from that it's a great bike. I had fun with it... It's pretty fast too..
4th... R6. Ohhh boy... when i rode this baby my back would not stop aching. Not to mention its the same as the zx6r when taking a turn. Although the bike feels great when revving at high rpm. I'm 5'5 and riding this ... well this is just too damn high for me. I could barely tip toe. And WOW it's heavy. My body worked over time riding this thing... And the handling? Forget about it! In any street bike reviews the R6 always falls down to the last. I guess these bikes shines more in the tracks too. Their engines are made to be revved high!
5th... well I never rode this one. Just rode next to it. Triumph Daytona 675. It sounded good! And looks REALLY good... but never rode one lol
Different bikes have different stuff... all depends what you want to do with it. I see more people stunting their r6 and zx6r. And people tracking/canyon runs with their cbr and gxsr. not to mention zx6r, gsxr, r6 has very nice consoles compare to cbr... CBR is more straight forward no fancy crap. No RPM light/blinker lol. And of course depends what looks you like...
and no matter how good your bike or your riding skill is... GET your self GOOD GEARS!! Do not go cheap on gears... do not go cheap on your own life.

New rider? There's a thread at the top of this page. Suggest you start there. Good luck and be safe. Motorcycling is a great sport, but it is very unforgiving.

I like to buy things new... 2nd hands, people can lie and tell you it's never damaged or what not. My sister's roommate bought a used bike @ CL... few months later the engine blew. So always be careful buying used unless it's from a dealer...
