16 year old Starter bike?

QUESTIONS

I would like to spend about $1000 dollars for a bike but would be ok with a little more if its necessary. I want a sporty bike but i don't know how to ride so something that is good to learn on at the same time. nothing to fast that will make it hard not to get myself killed.
Tell me if I need to spend more money or if i'm thinking about my first bike the wrong way. I am 16 and my parents trust me and i am generally a smart responsible kid if that effects your choice.
thanks for any help

Answer
My first bike was a 1983 Honda Nighthawk CB650

Its a great starter bike, it was also the very first time I have ever even rode and I was able to pick it up pretty quickly with this bike. I only paid 900 but there was a couple issues

Well im 15 years old right now and im going to get a bike as soon as i turn 16 and of course its just to look bada$$ and To get from Point a to b just for school. I know there alot of Concentration and effort when u ride a bike and you have to be careful. i was just wondering what type of bikes are good For starting i really really like the looks of sportsters and they just look more comfortable. anyways Iv seen and Drulled over the Iron 883 and i realy like that bike! like crazy i sware id do anythign for one ;P but i dont want to get one till i have pactice as my brother say about bikes "there only 2 kids of drivers for bikes..The one who fallen, and the ones who havent yet'. the thing about bikes is i want one that 2 seater and i kno the Iron 883 isent. but i know you can make it so i was also woundering is it worth just getting a iron and risk looking dumb with that secon seater.

Answer
The 883 is an excellent starter bike and is easily made for 2 people by adding a passenger pad and pegs or just changing to a 2-up seat.
The bike isn't too heavy, handles well, rides comfortable, and has all the power needed for a beginner rider (not too little and not too much). Once you are comfortable on it and more experienced with it, you will end up wanting more power...that's easy. Sart out with adding a Hi-Flo Air Cleaner and Pipes with the HD Screamin Eagle Super Tuner. Then you can convert it to 1200 by boreing the cylinders with new pistons and getting the bike dyno TUNED, not tested. 883-to-1200 conversions actually produce more power than factory 1200's.
BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.........TAKE A MOTORCYCLE RIDERS' SAFETY COURSE!!!!
Happy Ridin' Pal!!!!
