Its really a shame they call road bikes racing bikes. For most, this is certainly a misnomer. Perhaps it helps sell bikes, but I think it also scares away potential buyers.
Once you start riding more, you will find that hybrids and mountain bikes are at a disadvantage on the road.
I'd be more likely to buy a road bike after I've been riding for a while. A good road bike is expensive to me. I'd have to save up.
