Consider that ...
You will "outgrow" anything under 500 cc within months.
"Love speed" usually indicates that one would only be satisfied with a sports bike.
Those that love speed do not consider the cruiser style bikes to have any style unless you are in a Sunday Parade.
If you think you have a steady hand and are comfortable around power, I would suggest something like a Honda CBR600RR. Depending on your needs, you may never outgrow it, and if you need something else, say for cargo space, you will probably want to keep the RR anyway.

The Ninja 250 is what you are looking for. Around $3200 and a good learning bike. You will probably want to upgrade after riding for a season and get about 3000-5000 miles of riding time. You dont want to get a 600 only to want a 1000 a year later. Although you can make the 600 pretty fast just wont have the torque of the 1000.

If you have never ridden a motorcycle before, you should start on something smaller. Forget the talk of people 'starting' on big capacity bikes. There are plenty of great little bikes out there. Someone mentioned the Honda Rebel; which is a great little bike. One advantage is that you can get a really good secondhand one quite cheaply, then sell it later and not be out of pocket.
True, if you are sports bike oriented, you will soon grow out of it (I grew out of mine before I was even off my learner's).
Another great little bike is the Honda 250 VTR, or the Ninja 250; which are much more sports-like, but again you'll soon be looking for something larger. The problem here is that you will be spending a lot more on the bike, and will not recover all your money. But on the VTR you will learn about sports riding, safe cornering and so on.
If you start on a larger bike, they are built for speed, and are more difficult to learn on. The worst thing you can do is get a bike that you are scared of. Remember this: The majority of fatal motorbike accidents are single rider on a curve (ie, the rider couldn't handle the bike at the speed he/she was going).
Start on something like the VTR or a Ninja 250. You will soon decide whether sports riding is for you; and so what if you lose money when you finally sell your bike and move up? You'll have fun in the meantime. I kept my VTR when I got a larger bike, and only sold it when I bought a scooter as a second bike, for commuting.
I moved from Rebel to VTR to Yamaha 600 to 1000cc V-twin in 6 months, and never regretted any of the bikes.

for who? good and inexpensive, in my mind ONLY leaves Honda.
i rode a 1100cc since i turned 16, so by 18 i was wanting an 1800 vtx... but if i had started with a little rebel 250 maybe i woulda just moved up to a vlx 600.
people say they want so and so speed, or sush and such power, but untill you've logged some real miles you wont really know.

i don't know where you live, but you might want to check out insurance prices for beginners on different bikes...this might narrow your choices a bit...get one you can handle, make sure it is the right size for you, and get a style you like...my hubby prefers the crotch rocket style but i prefer ones you sit straighter up on..do you want an on/off road one like an enduro, or strictly a road bike...take all in consideration to get a bike you will enjoy...happy biking
