Are you set on a sport bike? Why not one of the early crossovers like the Nighthawk, Radian or Seca? They are all fairly good perfomance wise. I have no problems keeping up with any of the Harley's I've ridden with with my Nighthawk 650 and am quite sure the bike is a good bit quicker then my freinds new Bonnie. These mid 80 bikes are fairly light, well handling and very reliable. Granted with any 20 year old vehicle age becomes an issue but I'll ride my Honda 200-300 miles a day without any pain. Granted in 2 or 3 years I'll be bored with a Honda but it definately is a great beginner's bike.

If I was starting out, leaning toward sport bike, and wanted and/or could afford a new bike I think I'd get this one:
