Well I did it...

Bought my first bike. I got a 97 YZF1000. Nice starter bike huh. It has 3260 miles (yes that is correct) and I go it for cheap, cheap, cheap. I am about broke now but I couldn't pass it up. It needs a right fairing and the center cowl (peice by the headlight) is scratched. I am trying to learn on it. It is quite powerfull. I have not gone past 6k at ~40% throttle yet. Bastard has some torque. Claimed 140hp, 110 torque. None of my friends have the balls yet to go WOT in the first 2 gears. We are all newbies to bikes (owned for the past month or so).
