Sounds like you are becoming well educated and well prepared for getting into motorcycling. You might also look into a used Ninja 500, a little harder to find but a great beginner bike with just a little more ooomph. Have fun at your MSF course!

It seems alot of newbies write about not wanting to deal with the "hassle" of upgrading in a year, therefore they need a bigger/faster/sexier bike to keep them interested..."not bored". Well I bought a used Ninja 500 to start with which was a perfect beginner bike then a year lat...
