If this is your first bike, you're better off going with a used bike at less than 800cc. Trust me, you're gonna lay it down. It's gonna fall over and you're gonna scratch it up. I think a used Savage is perfect for you to start with. At the dealership they're gonna try to sell you the bigger bikes, duh. If you're truly a newbie, then there's a good chance you're gonna hurt yourself on the bigger bikes. Takes a while to get used to the balance and weight. I'd have to agree with Reelthing, 1000 mile highway trips are just asking for trouble at this stage.
However, if we can't convince you otherwise. Look at the Suzuki Boulevard C50T. It's fully dressed (for highway trips), fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, and light for an 800cc bike. Cost is pretty reasonable too for a new bike.
