I took the course to avoid the state bureaucrat rider's test. I had already rode dirt bikes and street bikes for years so the course was painfully boring for me. We literally had to sit on the bikes and push them across the lots before we ever got to start it. Great for beginners but if your only purpose is to get your endorsement, you'll be bored. I used to hop on my dad's Honda 750 four when I was 15 and ride 15 miles in to town to eat. I was about 160# and 5'8".
There's nothing cheaper about buying a bike. Insurance is high and parts are expensive.
Now is the time to buy a bike as people are broke and the economy is down. I'd look for a single cylinder 500 or similar if you want one real cheap. That way you don't have multiple carbs, etc. Try to find something with decent tires as well. A new rear tire installed can easily go over $200.
