also you should look into a motorcycle safety course, they offer them at dixie college here in st george. its like 100 dollars for a 3 day class, they teach you everything you need to know to ride a bike even if you've never even sat on one, the last day is all hands on riding, and once you complete the course it counts as your driving test for your motorcycle endorsement on your liscence.

check out a suzuki sv650. not quite a sport bike but not really a cruiser either. great bike for a beginner and also not something you will soon "grow out of". also nice for shorter riders. i picked up an 02 with 12k miles for 2000 a few years ago. heres a pic, I've done some mods to give a sportier look and feel, quite different from stock.
slick Bike dude. Suzuki's are quick but my dad said he used to always have shifting and cooling problems with his suzy so i havent rid one i think in like 3 years.

Yeah im actually doing the one up here at Salt Lake Community College. I just found out you get a discount on your motorcycle insurance when you have taken the safety course as well.

People who call motorcycles motor bikes = Chowder heads
See PKM's post.
But seriously, if you've got a family or people that care about you, I'd strongly recommend that you reconsider getting a bike.
Take the word "motor" out and tell me that again. "You gonna go ride your cycle, brah?" Exactly.

Seriously though, I never get on my bike without a full face dot/snell helmet, an armored (shoulders, elbows, spine) jacket, jeans and sturdy shoes. Riding a bike isn't any more dangerous than a car if you educate yourself and wear proper gear. Riding a bike without gear is like driving without a seatbelt, sure it takes a lot less to **** you up on a bike, but it's the same principle. It's rare you read a story about someone wearing a helmet and protective gear and obeying all traffic laws getting killed in an accident. I don't mean to be insensitive to anyone who has lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, because it does happen, I'm just saying the only reason people view it as so dangerous is that there are so many idiots who are too cool for helmets and speed limits.
