Default **ATTN** Motorcycle Gurus!!

I am in need of some help. I am looking to purchase a motorcycle in the near future and am having a hard time searching as I do not know much about it.

My criteria are as follows:

- used and < $5,000
- not expensive to insure, I know the price usually correlates to the size of the motor. Smaller motor = less to insure? I've heard of guys only paying $600/year for their bikes and are 23/24 years old.
- I want a bike that is relatively fast; nothing rediculous, and can handle very well. I live in back country and the windy twisty roads here would be great for a good handling bike.
- I want it to look good, nothing older than 2000
-fuel injected

I've looked at the following bikes through recommendations handed down to me:

- Buell
- Yamaha FZ series
- Yamaha YZF series
- Kawasaki Ninja series
- Triumph Daytona and Spirit

How are Honda bikes? And Suzuki?


Can someone please help a dude out. It would be much appreciated. I am new to the scene and want to get into the sport.

Thanks in advance.
