Man, you are really asking for it.
If I had to do it over I'd start with a Dual Purpose. The Kawasaki KLX250 would be good.
If you like sportbikes then the Ninja 250 is a good starter.
For cruisers any of the 650-800s would probably do.
Any of those would get good mileage. You can find the Ninja250 or the cruisers used fairly easily. Then when you decide to change bikes you won't lose much on resale. This would be true of a new KX250 since DPs usually have excellent resale values.
Whatever you choose be sure you buy and wear full gear, not just a helmet. Take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course too.
