what he said... but make sure you set enough money aside for some good gear so the whole pavement surfing thing isn't as painful if it does happen, and insurance and maintanance, to start correctly there is a bit of a hidden investment involved other than the bike itself

I wouldn't mind a bike, but I'll wait til I'm older, insurance is cheaper, and I got more money.

I speed enough as it is, I know I'd kill myself on a bike. I still want one though.

I suggest you take the MSF course. You learn alot through them and they teach you the right and wrongs and it will make you a better rider. You cant just get on a bike and ride it. Best money I spent.
