Check out this site if you haven't already: www.beginnerbikes.com
It is a great site with plenty of information on various beginner bike choices. The Ninja 250 is typically thought of as being the best first bike for nearly anyone at this site. It'll move you down the road when you need it to, capable of 100+ mph, cheap to maintain and insure, and the engines are bulletproof. The only thing beyond this I can suggest is taking the MSF Beginner Rider Course and then buying a used Ninja 250 and ride it for a year. Remember, this is your first bike, not your last. You can always sell the Ninja 250 close to what you bought it for later down the road and then move up after you have learned proper technique and good riding habits.
