Remember you always have to respect the bike because it will kill you, this is my 2 cents,36 have been riding and racing since 4 yrs old

I currently ride a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 600. I strongly suggest you try out different bikes before you buy one and here is why: your comfort level while riding can be determined by the bike you choose. Different sport bikes have different seating positions which can really help or hurt you depending on your body structure.
I suggest you buy a used bike that is between 3-5 years old as your first bike. a majority of riders drop/lay down their bike within the first six months after acquiring it. We would all hate to hear how you got a brand new White Ducati 848 and dropped it while washing it for the first time or layed it down because another car was not paying attention.
Welcome to the world of riding and I wish you the best in your decision as well as your deployment.
