A bonneville would be a good frist bike. My suggestion however would find a cheap 250 like a rebel or the such so you can lean and practice on. Usually you can find them fairly cheap and will not hurt your feeling too much if you happen to drop it. You should be able to get the money you spent back on it when you sell it. The only draw back is that freeways and major highways are almost out because you will only be able to go about 60 mph. After you become more at ease riding then you can go for whatever bonnie your heart and pocket book desires.
I like to second this I bought a used 82 yamaha 250 exciter and cut my teeth on it.I was 37 when I first got on a bike EVER I mean more extra virgin than olive oil.It was very helpfull and did not want to have my growing pains on a $4000 + bike.Steped up a little early because I got a deal I could not pass up on my speedy but that is another story.
