Displacement is the size of the engine. If you've never ridden, I would advise you to start w/ a smaller displacement bike. In fact, you're probably better off with something like a used Suzuki SV-650. It's a naked standard w/ lots of low end torque, decent mid-range to high end power, and it's light (350 lbs dry), so it's perfect for a beginner yet has enough performance that you won't get bored with it quickly.
Here's an article on the SV650:

If you have never ridden before I would get something a little more forgiving to learn on first....sportbikes are very responsive and quick ,they leave very little room for error and even less for reaction....they take alot of skill to master and are very different riding than normal per say motorcycles. I have been riding/racing for some 28yrs and have had many friends get killed on sportbikes...some due to driver error and some from other motorists. A good starter bike is an older ninja 250 or one of the smaller yamahas...you may not look "cool" but it is better than scraping your skin off the road or worse you....they can also be bought very cheap....learn how to ride it good then move onto something else and sell it
that bike is pretty much my stunting bike....I am running 1 down in the front and 52 teeth in the rear for gearing...LOL and some engine mods,but it is mainly the bike I take into the city ect, but still will kick up and impressive buck seventy on open highway. I like busas but they are a bit bulky for me...great open road bikes though
learn on a kawi ninja 250cc first or something before taking a spin on anything else. I would also suggest you look into taking the class for your motorcycles license as it will help you alot. I would also suggest to stay away from yamaha unless you like something that shifts a little bit hard. Suzuki gsxr600cc would be nice for starting out, of course that would be after you learn on a ninja 250 =). In my opnion I think suzuki has got a little bit more of a comfy feel also. Pretty much what everyone else is saying. Anyways enjoy, its fun but be careful =)
