Im interested in getting a bike this summer, and I know very little about bikes and not many people in VT ride anything but harleys, and they're just obnoxious really. Which scene is best really into the Repsol replicas Honda puts out. I figured Honda would be a good place to start, and the rice label doesnt really stand on their bikes. I definitely want to start out with a 1000cc bike. I started out driving a 300zx and developed very transferable skills, versus my friends that drove little toyotas.
Ducatti?
Ninja?
CBR?
Thanks, sorry if you think im ignorant.
Answer
You have only one skill that is "transferable" to motorcycling: You know that you use the right-hand side of the road. That's it, kid.
ANY sport-bike--from 600cc up--is for experienced riders only, and that's NOT you. It's pretty much a race-bike with lights, and will leave a 300ZX in its dust. How many cars do 0-60 mph in under four seconds? What car drivers think of as a good 0-60 time is a decent time for a bike--in a 1/4-mile drag! Frankly, the acceleration, cornering and agility of sport-bikes are dynamics that car drivers can't even imagine. But these capabilities also come with the potential of fatally cartwheeling yourself into the landscape.
Enroll a basic riding course, start small, and move up as your skills develop--over the years, not in mere months.

what is the cheapest track bike you can buy online?

trying to find the cheapest track bike you can buy online
Answer
you can't really get a cheap real track bike online...except maybe used off craigslist or ebay (and even then due to kids wanting to buy them on the internet its rather inflated prices). if you are just wanting a single speed frame that can be run with a fixed cog & lock-ring, bikesdirect.com is probably your best bet. the more relaxed road geometry is probably best for you if you are just tooling around town. if you are planning on riding the track however, your going to be paying more. Debernardis are pretty alright for the price (paint chips tho). Soma's Rush has track geometery too and would make a good entry bike. TheBikeBiz sells them all.
