I'm with everyone else in that the Twins, and even the ST for that matter, are to be respected for what they're
so easily capable of...the speed, the manuverability, etc. The essence of these vehicles is their tendency to bring out the guttural, adrenaline pumping feeling in their pilot - a blinding feeling that can be very dangerous and deadly in the wrong hands, especially the young and inexperienced and with the on-road distractions of this day and age. If you're honest with yourself and willing to take on the responsibility of such a vehicle at your age, then by all means. However, I'm willing to bet that little good will come for you and the other people on the roads if a 16/17 year old driver is driving Twin or ST.
Everyone else has said it - I'm 27 and don't have kids and I know it's a total "Dad" answer, but you're not ready for it.
Buy another 4R or Tacoma to help with the social aspect of High School - you'll have much more fun driving and being in the backseat of either of those at your age than you ever could driving one of these.
