First bike? Small and used. It's your first bike, not your last. You can easily find a used smaller bike, ride it for a year and then resell it for about as much as you paid for it. Insurance cost is much lower, and if you do something bad to it while learning, the $$$ is also lower.

My 2 cents worth...

I liked my first bike so much, a used '02 GZ 250, that I kept it and still ride it as well as my 1000cc non-Suzuki (oops, sorry) bike.
