Assuming you are in the U.K., you will be limited to a maximum of 125cc anyway, so ignore all the answers about riding a 250. You can't.
Any Japanese 125 is worth owning as a starter bike. One of the best would be a Yamaha SR-125. This is the main bike used by training schools, due its low seat height, light weight and predictable power delivery. They are reliable and not too expensive second-hand, either.

I started on a Kawasaki vulcan 500, I would say anything smaller than that would probably get boring by the end of the first year especially on the interstate.
I took the MSF coarse on a Honda Rebel 250, I think this would also be an easy bike to learn on but rather slow.
Though I hear some countries limit you on the size of your first bike, around here a 250 is about as small as you can buy that is street legal.

Andrew:
He buddy the best new rider bike on the market is a Honda
Rebel 250. Enough power to haul most anyone and small enough to get you thru the riders test. I have a 93 Harley Hertiage Softail Moo Glide and did not want to take the test on it. So i borrowed a rebel and aced it with no problem.
A good used Rebel should sell for less than 2000.00 look around. Ebay sells the a little high i think.

(yet wouldnt you fairly injury on a 250 and not a 500 you all ask) yea yet you will be able to desire to besides experience a purple 250 reason this is the comparable looks you will get. torque is a procedures too plenty exciting to sacrifice for what would be a rapid getting to know curve. confident purchase some thing that has been storage stored and nicely maintained yet some thing you're unlikely to hate your self for figuring out to purchase some scratches on besides, reason you will... make investments interior the ideal kit, dont flow affordable on the helmet, verify and get a sturdy jacket with the shoulder elbow and returned pads, and positioned on denims. don't be that fool that rides in shorts and change flops, we've all considered him... and specifically use your head, motorcycles are one in all those organic determination. understand your limits and understand how a ordinary procedures to push it. commence saving up now for once you injury, reason it aint affordable, aspects to restoration the experience, wellness middle charges, time without work artwork etc. oh and get physique sliders from the get flow, or flow straight away for a crash cage and flow nuts.

Something in the 250 class is best. Yamaha Virago or Honda Rebel for instance. Smaller bikes are not suitable for use on the road.

650 honda shadow, sportster 883 or 1200. it really all depends on your likes and dislikes of each model. try to narrow that down and then decide between 2 or 3 models.
some key points to factor in are:
what's the height ( laden-unladen )
am i sitting comfortably
dry weight and running order
etc

Get a small Honda cruise bike. Not a big touring bike, a small town bike.
