Hi Seth, and welcome! It all depends on your experience and what you like. It's tough to give advice with so little input to start with.

Aloha..
and welcome to the crew. Lots of good advice here. How much riding experience to you have and what is your budget? If you have never ridden, the first thing is find a MSF, Motorcycle Safety Foundation, beginners course. That will help you immensely.

Welcome!
Any ninja will do. Find one you like, get it, take an MSF safety course, and ride away!

Then you had better expect closer to $4000+. You probably won't find many for the low end of your budget.
