The only reason to buy a used bike the first time out is to see if it's your thing. Some people invest in new ones only to find they didn't like riding as much as they thought they might or were afraid to venture out, etc. And bikes are like boats-you always trade up to bigger.
Many dealers have open house weekends or "ride" rallies where you can try out bikes on guided rides. You're under no obligation to buy and it's a great way to get a feel for what you might want. Then go out and buy it used if that's what you want to do.
