What sport bike should I start with?

: What sport bike should I start out with?
I was just getting into motorcycles and studying certain mechanics about them. Would anyone know what might be a good bike to start out with? I don’t mind paying for a new model. I’d like suggestions for a sport bike.

Before you do anything else, you should take the MSF motorcycle safety course. This will give you the initial skill to ride safely as well as give you some feel for what you might like.

First obtain your motorcycle license or motorcycle endorsement.
Second, set aside a budget between $ 800 to $ 1,000 for head to toe riding gear. If you can find gear for less, great.
Third, select a couple of bikes you are considering and contact insurance companies for rate quotes. Say you REALLY like the looks of the Yamaha R6. You will quickly discover starting with an R6 will be very expensive to insure.
Fourth, why a sport bike? I understand motorcycle companies are in the business to make money and the young generation of buyers are very enamored with sport bike because of all the stunting videos on YouTube. Sadly, no manufacturer makes a good all around bike for a beginner.
But you have asked and here is my suggestion.
Kawasaki 250R Ninja or the Honda CBR250R. Buy used the difference in price between new will help offset the cost of riding gear. Remember, this bike is being used for LEARNING. This is your FIRST bike, not your last.
