Find a good used bike to learn on. I know you do not want to hear any rubbish about starting on an old standard or enduro but they are the way to go for a new rider. At your age, male with no experience insurance will be really high so do yourself a favor and find out about that cost before you actually buy a bike. I got a CBR600 when I was your age and was very surprised to find out the insurance was nearly $2500 a year. Now at 32 I pay under $230 a year for three bikes and two of those are sportbikes, so check with an insurance agent before buying any bike. Because you are a new rider, and chances are you will skip the underpowered learning bike, remember a 600 will do 150+mph.
 
Visit sportbikes.net .... It has a wealth of knowledge from a large base of experienced rider .... esp. check out the new rider forum with many list of great beginner bikes with information on them...here is a sample on a stickied thread...

Suzuki GS500F

This is considered to be one of the best starter bikes. Not too powerful, not too aggressive of a riding position, but with sport bike style looks, most people will think you're riding a 600cc or 1000cc sport bike. The other thing that you need to see is the specs. With a respectable 52 horsepower, and being so light weight, it will go 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, and will do a quarter mile in the high 12's. This is supercar territory.



Pros:
cheap insurance
great gas mileage
Looks like a super sport
Cheaper than the 650
