Well i dont know anything about bikes really. I want to buy one for both pleasure and for when im working on my car (Im starting autocross with it).

Someone recommended to me for my first bike a GSXR600 but that seams way to fast for a first bike. I'm not really sure how much i want to spend yet. I'm only 17 (todays my birthday actually) and i have to talk my parents into letting me get one first but i have a decent amount of money set aside. I also need some info on safty gear, my dad said he'd spend as much money neccasary for safty if i can talk my mom into allowing me getting a bike. I plan on taking any courses i can to learn how to ride and all that. I want to get a suzuki mostly because my car is a suzuki and id like to stick with them.

One of my biggest concerns is insurence. My car already costs 4kUSD a year on insurence. My bike would not be my main way of transportation. If anyone has any ideas on how much insurence is please let me know and keep in mind i am 17 so its going to be much high. Also if there are any class' i can take to lower my insurence.

Well i guess thats all, oh by the way my names Dan.
Thanks alot
