Used 400cc bikes make great street learners. The closest in chuckability to a dirt bike and they'll still get out of their own way. Livable for short highway jaunts, too. I've considered one for around town. The beast is too much of a production for short trips. Used means it's okay to lay down a few times. Better that than saving the bike instead of your butt. Fall/Winter means you'll get your best price, too.
I'll second the safety course. Lots of cage drivers out there who don't see motorcycles. Ohhh, those left-turners.
