The bike that you can afford, I found that to be a good start.

Retro or commuter bikes are fairly comforable to start riding, they can be a bit forgiving.

Race reps are nice, but don't like to be ridden at 30 mph, as they put a lot of weight on your wrists. The other issue, the turning circle is bigger than an artic lorry needs.

Off road style bikes are ok, but depending on the style you get, there is not a lot of wind protection on a moto cross style bike. They have a bonus of a lot of suspension, to soak up some bad roads.

Best beginners bike is a bike that fits you that you feel comfortable with. You have to feel confident in the bike to progress confidently. Once you have learnt the skills you can then look at a bike that takes your fancy. When I met Mrs F her ex husband made her buy a bike she didn't like. Once she got rid of the husband she didn't like, moved up here, the first thing we did was to buy her the bike that fitted. From not wanting to ride her bike, Honda CB500, her new purchase of a Honda NC30 she gained the confidence to go onto eventually purchase a Kawasaki Z1000SX

So for your beginners bike, get out and sit on a few to test the weight, height and balance. It doesn't need to be the best looking or street cred just a means to and end. Hope that helps
