I decided against buying the new 2005 Kawa Ninja that i posted earlier. After doing some mad crazy research and talking to insurance agents i quickly realized i should buy used for my first bike and i shouldnt get a pure-sporty-sport model (insurance through the roof).
After more mad crazy research i found a used Suzuki Katana in great condition with a great price to match. It is considered a sport-touring bike (lower insurance); very confortable for long rides (like morning commutes), stable and great in the twisties (which means it is a little heavier than a pure-sport, good for a beginner), but with a cool sport look and a semi-crouch riding position. It has 750cc's so it can still haul ass and beat any car off a light, just maybe not a super-sport bike. It will defenitely be able to keep up with my friends on their 600's, though.
I bought it today

I'll get more pictures up soon. I'm super pumped, this bike fits my conservative side and sport hunger at the same time, it should last me years to come!
