Aw burn 
I've got the opposite problem - my gf thinks me getting a bike is a great idea so she can ride around on it with me...but I'll be pretty damn paranoid about having her on there.
One of the reasons I don't drive cars is so I don't have to put anyone else's life on the line

I'm thinking of buying one, for the summer season. I can handle the licensing thing on my own so what I'm here to ask is:
Should I get a learner bike first? I've been told that you'll generally lay the bike down a few times in your first year... I've ridden dirt bikes up to 150 or 200cc (can't remember) so I'm familiar with off road riding...
How many cc should I be looking for?
What should I know when buying a bike?
What's insurance like (I'm in Canada)?
I'm open to comments for or against bikes as well 
Bikes kick ass. get like a 600 or 700 cc. 1200 would kick your ass.
Hell my 600 would go up on its back tire all the way threw third gear, thats not saying much though.
Inevitably your going to fall, your bike is going to get dented, scratched, and bent.
If you like dirt bikes, get an Enduro. My favorite is the Honda XR 600. Its a dirt bike that doesnt mind going 100 down a free way one bit as long as you get the on/off road tires.
License??? who the hell neads that?!?! Insurance costs a buck fitty. I dunno i got insurance last year and they never even sent me a bill. I got pulled over a few times and it said i had insurance so hell yeah!
btw your gonna kill your self.

The argument of sport bikes being more dangerous than a cruiser is not backed by any factual information, it's just a misconception. I've been riding sportbikes aggressively for several years, and in my opinion, cruisers are more dangerous.
Cruisers are generally overweight, underpowered, have weaker brakes + suspension, and the riders are usually middle aged men just getting into riding with very little experience. Poor brakes + poor riders+ poor acceleration + heavy ass cruiser = dangerous.
Every other vehicle on the road is just as dangerous as a sportbike if the operator is incompetent.

I think mental maturity and a good awarness and knowledge is the key to riding any type of bike. Blame the carpenter not his tools. The quality of the tools are only that of the one that uses them.
Sports bikes are for handeling at high speeds thats the purpose of its being.
Chopers are for laying back and being like yeah whats up im checking you out checking me out.
Cruisers are self explanitory.
Enduros are for the guy that likes to mix it up, you can book down a highway, you can cruise along rivers, you can ride it on trails and train tracks.

I just got my M1 learners permit today.
I'll be enrolling in a course soon because my learner's permit expires in 90 days.
Once I complete the course, I'll be allowed to ride on the highways and with passengers; the only limitation being 0 blood alcohol until 2 years elapses.
So my question has turned to this.
Body Armor. What do you wear?
ABS? Foam? or just a thick hide & helmet?
Thanks 
ps: i'm looking at the sv650s now holydiver!

Cool. I have 5 motorcycles, and two dirtbikes, a small mini bike that looks like a street bike but actually is loud and pretty fast on street.
There fun, but then agian we have snow here so winters it would just sit there............unless you travel and ride it,
But
Dirtbikes are the best......i ride them in snow and everything, i love them
ez to get away from the police too

Congrats on the permit, that's awesome.  I've been riding enduros the past few weeks, and it feels great to be back in the swing--few things compare riding a bike you really love. I PM'd you my opinion of that particular bike up for auction, and the SV650S will treat you right...v-twin power.
Helmet: Best bang for the buck as far as comfort/looks/safety/economy that I've found is HJC Helmets These are DOT and SNELL certified, about as good as you can get. No need to spend $500 on a pimped helmet, a good CL-14 from HJC is fine.
Gloves: Leather or high quality synthetic, something to hold up when you go slide on pavement.
Boots: Leather or synthetic boot that covers your ankle, again, the sliding thing. Tennis shoes are worthless, may as well be wearing flip flops.
Coat: A well-made riding jacket with protective armor. Recommend:Firstgear
Legs: Jeans at the minimum, but actual armored riding pants are best (although I've slacked and just go with jeans anymore).
All this might seem excessive, but these are really wise investments to make for yourself. All it takes is seeing a riding buddy go down hard one time, skin ground down to the bone...ugly. Protect yourself, because a fall at any speed will not be kind.

good post! good gloves are a must! get some nice leather ones, thick. boots i find unnecessary, but a good leather coat is a must!! the kevlar just doesnt seem to do... (my kevlar tore open...). and for your legs jeans are fine (they held better than my kevlar jacket!).

alright boys and girls, I just off the phone with my insurance company.
They want me to pay $8000/year to insure a 2005 sv650, blue book valued at $5000. $4000 of that is personal injury.......and the 8000 doesn't even include collision!
Any other ideas? 8k fucking..... flabergasting... I don't even know the fucking word for it....

$8000???? That's got to be a mistake. You could insure a supercar for less than that. Are you sure it wasn't 800 or 80? I was quoted $150/six months for insurance with the works on a ninja 500. I know the 650 is the next class up but even still...

WTF?!!!
Call me foolish, but I don't even have my Harley covered for collision or fire/theft. Just liability and bodily injury and it's only
$343 a year. Add collision & fire/theft (comprehensive) and it goes to $865 a year. Book on my Road King is $15,200 last time I checked.
I think your agent is screwing you.
