I think you should just invest 1000 dollars or so in an old bike. You should be able to get a decent working bike for that price. I dunno what kind of bikes that place in the previous post rents but i doubt you'd get a really nice sport bike as renting motorcycles is a risky business because motorcycles are too prone to damage and accidents and the liability on the rental company wouldn't be worth it.

And the place is in San Francisco. Quite possibly one of the worst place in cali to start off riding a motorcycle.

you can rent a harley or a buel for about $160 a day. I rented a street glide and a soft tail before I bought my bike.

Like mentioned above, you'll have to put down a deposit to cover any or all damages. If it's your own bike and you lightly scruff it up, its up to you if you wanna repair the cosmetics or not.
