    Smaller sport bikes with smaller engines, like 250cc engines. They're less likely to get you killed. They're still quick too. Just not above like 100 mph heh.

    I'm currently looking at getting a cheap small sport bike to learn on.

    I started on the one I'm selling now. It is a 2003 R6. If you want one you won't have to upgrade from, buy mine. It's $5500 with a few mods.

    i have a 03 sv650s. started on the naked version sv650 (1999 year). ive been riding for 2 years and iam still not sick of it. dont get a 250cc u will learn the basics of riding and then the 250 is not gonna satisfy anymore. yes, a suzuki gs500 is an awesome beginner bike but you will want more once you learn the basics. i personally think the sv is the best choice or maybe the new kawasaki ninja 650r. the ninja 650r looks super sweet though. especially the black with the red frame choice.
