If I lived in downtown San Francisco and wanted to ride in that general area, a motard would make some sense, regardless of the other issues. But, sadly, I live in Oklahoma. Riding around town here, from stoplight to stoplight, is no fun and that's where all the traffic is, so it's not as safe as I'd like. I find that when I ride, I usually get out of town. Not necessarily on an interstate but usually on quieter old two lane roads. For that, you want a bike with some legs.
If you are a beginner you are not going to want to ride around lots of cars. Getting away from town and exploring the boondocks is both safer and more interesting. Motorcycles are a form of escape and the best use for them is to go somewhere you don't need to go, in no particular hurry.
