so finally im at a stage in my life where i can afford to ride a bike.
ive done some dirt riding in the past, but havent touched a bike in a long time...
all ive been looking at lately are 600cc+ sport bikes.
even looking at 1000 cc because i love the new ****ing r1's.

21yo...
what's ss?
$10,000 +.. is quite easily possible on a black listed super sport especially since you might not qualify for state farm unless you have held you G for 5 years
Depends what your looking for and what kind of riding your doing. If you can afford a crap tone for insurance then get what you want.
If you have a Budget I would suggest looking at a sport touring like a Katana or VFR if you want a Super sport bike you can look at getting one over 20 years old as they wont be black listed anymore.
At 21 even a 250 might be 3000+ to insure.. but we need to no more about what you want to do with the bike. Not to mention in the end you are the only one that can really decide.
Read through the flow charts in the insurance section
"Where we're going we don't need roads"
"Where are we going?"
"Brantford!"
"Oh so we do need roads?"
"Yea...."

Why don't you call an insurance company and get a quote?
I'm sure you'll get a more solid answer than here.
All you have to do is pick up the phone..

Better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.
get a 599, it's a street fighter that can keep up with 600ss bike no problem, especially in the corners.
Not wearing gear while riding is like unprotected sex. Sooner or later you're going to get a rash!
to OP, insurance will kill you... doesn't matter if you never had a ticket/no claim/no accident/no nothing.... that's not how the insurance companies calculate stuff... they use "The Law of large numbers" to determine the crash rate on the age range, the type of bikes, based on the number of accidents involved. 21 year old on a SS bike = super high risk.
You might want to start with a lower cc bike, unless you have $$$ to spend on insurance.
