Gas on the 5.0 is killing me so I signed up for my motorcycle safety classes and i should have my license in a few weeks so i will need a bike shortly after. Any help appreciated. O yes, the bike also has to look half decent. I like the crotch rocket look, like gsxr's and honda cbrs.

I recommend a 250 Ninja. Crotch rocket look with none of the power, should be able to keep up on the highway though.
Those things are cheap, and I'm sure they sip gas. A lot of the crotch rockets actually do pretty bad on gas. I think a 750GSXR is in the 35s while my Neon does 33s. Those things have small indy engines basically. 12 or 13:1 compression and 15K rpm isn't a gas saving motor. It's just not horrible because it's tiny.
