I would like to what is the best commuter scooter that I can drive on the 405/5 freeway of CA, 30 miles at once, for someone who has no motorcycle skill whatsoever?

When I bought the bike, the seller turned the ( as what I call it ) idle rpm control knob significantly, and I never thought much of it until of late. Whenever at a stop, my bike is idling around 4k once it's fully warmed up. I don't know much about motorcycles but this seems way too high, first gear goes by way to fast and wants me to up shift during a corner, and that's clearly never going to happen. I read somewhere that 1500 could work, but to me that seems so low, I feel like the bike would simply keln over and die if I had it that low...advice?

I have learned to ride on my brothers GSX-R 600, riding it while he has been at college(on almost every day it wasn't too cold or raining.) But now he's back at home and I'm going to get myself something so I can ride with him. But seeing how brand new gsxr/r6/zx6r's are so expensive... I'd like to know what bikes are inexpensive ( <7k ) but still have enough power so I will have fun riding. I only like sport bikes, preferably something 600ish. I look like a giant on 250s.. :( Thanks! A 125 is not big enough, or fast enough. I want a supersport. I'm not looking for a learner. I've managed on a GSX-R for the past year. With no 'close calls' or wrecks. No tickets, as well. (read more)Open Question: one exahust is much hotter than the other and my bike idles fine but when i put it in gear all the power goes?
