If you do your training with a reputable company you will pick up on whats what and probablt be taken to visit lots of local showrooms. Take your time and decide what you realy want. On todays roads most 600cc sports bikes are too fast - they will genuinly hit speeds of 150mph. More importantly they will break the speed limit in seconds, you'll find they can do 70+ as easily and quickly as your car will do 40mph. The big 10000cc plus bikes would be capable of wining a GP in the days of Barry Sheen - in the right hands they are fun, fast and safe - but not an ideal 1st bike. To start with look at the 600cc 'retro' or sports tourer style bikes. Get a couple of years and some miles under your belt and then you'll have more idea of your own ability and what you relay want.

Go for it - you will never regret it.....as long as you ride like EVERYONEis going to kill you :lol: might sound silly - but its amazing how paranoid you become when riding..cars pulling out - wet drain covers - that horrid banding they put on 'tempory' repairs (actually the same stuff that skid pans are surfaced with !! :?)
I have had everything from a Honda C50 up to a Suzuki GSX750ES at the moment I have a GSX400F its a 1985 and is great fun - when it runs... :oops:
if you MUST have a 'big' bike give the Bandit 600 a serious look..they are comfy - quite quick (120ish) economical (mine used to get 45-55mpg) and there is a miriad of tuning options - and customisation out there to make yours stand out from the crowd..they start at a N reg and arer still in production, and as a plus point they can eb restricted to 33bhp if you dont go for your DAS.
Once you decide how youre doing your test, then take a look at your local bike showroom/back street dealer, and sit on as many bikes as possible - That way you may find there is a style of bike that suits you more..
Good luck ;)

"..they start at a N reg and arer still in production," .... I actually had an M reg one, one of the first in the country but I agree they are an excelent first bike and relatively cheap, with reasonable prformance.
