Don't listen to these people who say you'll die from riding or it's too dangerous. If you basicly ride with common sense and don't ride like cocky maniac weaving in-n-out of cars than you'll be fine. My female friend has been riding a CBR 1000RR for 5 years. She always gears up and obeys traffic laws.

you could get an rsx. 
But anyway, why not get a civic si or something? ive heard theyre alot o fun to drive, and its still pretty affordable. It definately wont be as fast or exciting as your Z, but at least it wont be boring either. If you'd like to save money, then just get the beater.
Drive around a beater for a couple of years until you finish grad school, then you could get yourself a nice 370z or even a GTR with some of the cash youve saved.

I think that you're dumb for selling it.
I would have:
Either kept it or parted it out.
Don't get a bike if you have living people who care for you. When I was 22 I would have responded in a MUCH different fashion. I'm now 27, and sold my bike last year.

With the position you are in, why dont you just buy a normal daily driver like a nice truck or 4-dr for utility in college. Then when you're done with school, you can always buy a nice sports car.

Awww, don't get mad now, sweetie. I'm just busting your stones. I do have an opinion, and it matters. (crosses arms and stomps foot)
Sorry you're not a competent mechanic. I shouldn't assume.
