[QUOTE="Jamz, post: 1017932, member: 65668"] As far as a bike the SV650 is a good bike. I used to race and many people ran these on the track. So there are very powerful and will run with the best. BUT they are also cheaper and a more comfortable riding position. Also bikes like an older honda F3 (95-96)/or later F4i or even the Yamaha 600R notice I did not say the R6. These two are good sport bike starter bikes and also makes for a comfortable ride with more street frendly ergos. They have more friendly power but trust me....they will haul butt. My wife has a 96 F3....and it will hit 145 - 150. As far as starting out. If your friends like to ride fast do not ride with them. More people especially novice ridders get in a crowd of faster guys and end up crashing big time. You get caught up in it all. And also you start tailing a guy who is way faster then you and you don't realize your speed until you reach a corner and freeze and go flying. I never ride with guys I did NOT know. And if someone falls in behind me I slow it down or just leave them as fast as possible or even wave them off. Street riding is fun....and I am a firm belive that dirt riding makes you a better street rider. Take the course at the beginning, then get some riding experince, then go to a track day that has a novice group w/ a class. I guarantee you will learn how to handle the bike and plus you will play it alot more safe on the street after that. You realize that you can easily drag a knee around a turn at 120+ mph with the tires sliding and the whole time you are giving it throttle and completly relaxed on the track and so taking a turn on the street at high speeds(aka 80mph) seems kinda silly so you just ride to relax and see the scenery and have a nice time out.
