The most important part of this entire discussion was left out. What kind of bike are you planning to get?
If you've never ridden a modern sportbike, I highly recommend that you try one. Even though I'm nearly 42 and should have outgrown such things by now, I love mine and ride it 10,000 miles a year.
I've done 450 miles of nothing but back roads in a day, you could bypass the highways and take the scenic route north to NY and then west through VT to NH, if you chose to buy one in PA. Sportbikes are far more comfy than they look.
