Oh, one other bit of advice: whatever you buy, if it doesn't have an engine guard (aka crash bar) on it, get one. I can almost guarantee if you've never handled a motorcycle before you're going to drop it at least once while you get used to backing it up, parking, turning around in the driveway, etc. A couple hundred dollars worth of engine guard is worth the ding/dent you will save yourself on the engine or gas tank.

As usual great advice guys thanks. It's still a pipe dream for now. But I'll soon be car-less and motivated to take the course.

I'm going to be so badass.
Indeed you shall be. Don't let anyone convince you that wearing the proper safety gear makes you less so.
