I would spend the money in the cars u have. street bikes are too dangerous. Some never fall or get hurt some die the 1st time out. Just be carefull. Just my opinion.

sv650s are fun for a first bike and fun to stunt on a side note just saying lol. But maybe a 04+600 gsxr that is lowered would be bueno.

take a riders course, ie hondas, that way you can beat up their brand new bikes

Look for an older Yami, or GSXR for a toy.

FZR600's are great , and super cheap starter bikes

they can be had under 2g's in most area's.
just keep an eye open on Craigslist.

check out an older katana.. like a 90s model.. if they have been taken care of, it wont be DOG slow... and you can usually pick one up for a little over a grand.

on a side note.. they also are not the lightest bikes out there.. but would be a good learner, i know a few girls that have rode them..

Get a V-max, those things are badass.

I don't really like the cruiser looking bikes, but that thing is cool.
