What do you think of this as a first bike:
I found a 2003, all stock, never down, with 2300 miles for less than $5k...
It's a Buell Firebolt XB9R. 984cc Air/Oil/fan-cooled, four-stroke, 45 V-twin.
92 HP, 68 ft-lb.
Could be a good beginner bike compared to a CBR/Ninja/GSXR.

..that bike will do just about the same speeds as a stock CBR, GXSR ...so I am not getting why you think it would be a better "Beginner Bike"?

If you want a buell learner bike, get a blast. Learn how to ride, then learn how to ride fast on a different bike.

Anyway...i think it'd be a good starter because it has less HP than the more common sport bikes, the revs wont be as high, and its dirt cheap.

If you give it to much gas coming out of corner you will high side yourself to the high heavens.
