Here I go again
Jake, for a first bike you should get a small/medium-size dirt bike. You need something you can drop, pick up, dust off, and nothing is broken. Learning in the dirt means there are no cars or trucks to worry about, you can just concentrate on your riding skills. And a low speed oops! won't mean you scratched your Triumph.
Make it a dual-sport and you can take it to the street after you get enough experiance.
