Great advice from FrugalNinja, sigh , in my over 40 years of riding of I've bought only one new bike ( a 2 year holdover discounted to $ 1199 from $2899 ). All the rest were used in varying conditions from excellent to parts bikes. What they all had in common was they were great bargains.
There are lots of motorcycles out there with very low miles that can be acquired at low cost that would serve the beginning motorcyclist much better than a new or near new bike. Definitely take the MSF course first.
My 2 cents worth.
