I am looking for a good starting sport bike. I don't want any 250's or anything around that size because I have plenty of off road experience with big cc and fast motorcycles. My price range is around 2500 to 3000.
 
Agreed, SV650s are great starters but depending on your style, it can get boring very easily. CBR600 F4 and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R are also great starters if youre looking for a full fairing. Hope that helps good luck.
 
Suzuki SV 650. Great bikes, lots of them around, fantastic aftermarket support. Lots of them are used as track bikes, so look for telltale signs of hard use. Check the engine cases, footpegs, and bar-ends for scratches. Look for indications that the oil drain plug may have been safety-wired. Ask for complete maintenance records.

Just because you have dirt experience doesn't mean that you need a GSX-R. Dirt riding is great practice for street riding, but you don't learn all the skills you need on the street from riding in the dirt. You'll rarely see other dirt riders doing their makeup while they ride, or texting. In transitioning to the street, you are going to need to learn how to deal with traffic. Stay away from the R1s and ZX-10s until you've gotten some time on the street.
 
something used and common like a Honda in case you fall or it falls over w/o you on it....save you money until your really comfortable
