Doc Joe: It's more an emotional decision than an objective one. I simply want a bike and have wanted one for a long time. Using one for a warm weather commuter is a great opportunity to do this and get it out of my system before a mortgage and children muddy up the finances.
I understand that 100%, I have been riding since I was 10 and started street riding at 18, when I could buy my first street bike and get a lic.
Take your time if your not in a hurry and look and think about what you want to do besides ride it to work, ie pleasure riding with friends, trail riding or track time on a sport bike.
I know others have said this, but please do look into taking a motorcycle riding course in your area. It is well worth the money and time to take it.

Doc.
