Respect your parents! Sounds like you don't need a bike.

But if you have to get a Kawasaki.

lol...+1^...but if you're still going to get a bike then:

1st: I assume that this is your first time riding a bike...if so, then I would suggest to take the Motorcycle Safety Course...a lot of us have taken it, and it WILL help you in a lot of situations...trust me.

2nd: As a beginner it really doesn't make sense to be debating on a 600 or a 750...both quite honestly have more than enough power for a person who is just starting out.

3rd: Does it really have to b a zuki? Think big, think green, think kawi...

Do you have any idea what feels comfortable to sit on yet?

I think you need to not get hung up on a name, and instead go find what you're comfortable on. Even a 600 is gonna rock your fuckin' world being a new rider.

DO NOT get a 750. All the bikes will be plenty fast so like every1 else said, just sit on them and pick the one you like the best

There's oh so much to say here...19 yo wants a bike...buy GEAR (helmet, boots, gloves, jacket, etc) first...take MSF second...buy crappiest piece of shit bike you hate to look at third...practice, practice, practice...you aren't nicky hayden or valentino rossi or ben spies yet...take it easy and move up in bikes and power slowly...it's not the bike...it's the rider...ATGATT...be safer than stupider...

Lastly, have fun.
