Yeah, good luck getting into a MD MSF course anytime soon...my buddy in NoVA just signed up, and got placed in August. A 600 SS Honda is a decent choice for a first bike...most sportbikers would tell you to start on a 250...but let's get real: who has the money to be swapping bikes every few months? Not me.
However, since it IS your first bike, I would stick to a F2 or F3 (early 90s) so if you lay it down, you only spent about $3k and won't be kicking yourself. Insurance wise as a new rider, stay away from Progressive. Try local companies instead.
