Answer 1

try posting your question in the proper category, like Motorcycles

this is Cycling, as in Bicycling

Answer 2

For sports bikes, the two big hitters in the 600 league are the R1 and the CBR. The problem with these bikes is their size. You will need to test ride to see if this thing is comfy.

However, I would stear clear of sports bikes for about a year. Why not try a Hornet, or a bandit 6. These will give you experience without getting out of your deapth. I would also consider a cheepter, second hand machine for that first year (That way it is not so much an issue when you drop it).
