welcome kender...go for a yamaha or honda 600, drive it for a while and when you get sick of it...sell it for what you bought it for. A 600 is more than enough for you now (you won't flip it unless its sprocketed or you goose/clutch it up so don't worry, the most you'll do is pop up a little and go back down)...you should be able to find one for $2000

...oh and clint has a very nice sv 650...
