First bike? Ridden street bikes much? Dirt bikes dont count b/c its totally different.
If its a first, get a used 600 of some sort. Id recommend the late 90s yamaha R6/YZF600 or the Honga CBR 600F3. Plenty of power, plenty of parts laying around... easy to find cheap.
Take a saftey course. I hate to beat a dead horse, but they are unsafe ( which is why I have one!) but they can be lots of fun. In atlanta I constantly see people riding like their parents fed them a little too much led paint.
