For your first bike, I definitely recommend getting a used bike that you are comfortable with. Don't let image or design cloud your mind too much... you can always upgrade later on once you're more comfortable riding and you're sure you'll use it enough to make it worth while.
I went ahead and shelled out for a brand new Yamaha, and I definitely regret it. Sure it looks awesome, but it was really expensive buying parts for it when I layed it down (and it IS likely you'll lay it down just starting out). And the worst part is that I don't ride it NEARLY enough to justify its price tag. Of course you think you will before you have it, but since it most likely won't be your primary mode of transportation... you might not use it as much as you envision.
