Red brake calipers on the Benzo to match the red fairings on the bike? Just a thought....it would def. make a cool picture.
Otherwise...

Ah...she's (rolling430) closing in on a decision I see! *laff*
I'm not really feelin the BIG STAR emblem on the grill but this is the first one I've seen that I actually like. The painted/blacked out edge and leaving the chrome cross members intact. I like this one fa sho!

In any case, you need to get frame sliders ASAP, because otherwise it will cost you ~500 bucks to get your fairings fixed the first time you drop it. And I guaratee that you will drop it... everyone does. I've been riding since I was 10 and managed to slide on gravel behind my house earlier in the spring...

90s CBRs make decent starter bikes or if you want something newer, get a ninja 250 / ninja 500. If you're a big guy, SV650 is the way to go. Getting a 600RR is a great way to excercise your term life policy.

Great advice halik.
Nice bike jrsalesco, just take it slow and don't turn yourself into a road pizza. If you haven't had a bike before, consider taking a motorcycle safety foundation class. The biggest problem you will have with that bike is resisting the urge to twist the right grip
Now go out and get yourself some good gear to go along with your helmet. Jacket, pants, boots and gloves. You might as well be riding naked in your sweatshirt, jeans and tennies for all the protection they will offer if you hit the ground.
www.newenough.com has great prices on gear. Also, consider checking out the beginner forum on sport-touring.net. I know you don't have a touring bike, but the advice for beginners applies to all kinds of bikes and riders.
I've got a ZX-11 and an FJR1300.

thanks for all the advice! the throttle is VERY touchy! but i honestly wanted a newer bike to learn on rather something old.. since im going to learn, i might as well learn on something i plan on riding for a while not something im for sure going to upgrade to. but trust me.. im taking it real real slow... heres a front end picture...
