As a youngin with plenty-o bad driving record let me as well chime in and say be careful with your first purchase. I'd suggest as motion did, buy that sucker and slap it on ebay (reserve at what you paid). Hell, buy some touchup paint and polish it up some. You can easily make a profit off that bike.

OR, buy it and keep it in the garage until you've honed your riding skills on a more newbie-friendly bike. I was aiming at getting a suzuki sv650 as my starter bike, then was suggested by a friend to buy his aprilia RS50 replica (he sold it to another friend of mine).

I quickly passed up the thought of owning a bike until i had at least a $100k life insurance policy. Mostly due to my first serious accident which was in my dad's 73 RSR 911. Some dick decided to merge me into a center divider at about 75 and took off after the fact. I realized then, that if i were on a motorcycle, I'd more than likely be dead.
