For a first motorcycle try and find something used but in good condition. You are going to make mistakes, and it's best to do that with a machine that isn't beautiful and expensive.
Also, you're not going to know what sort of bike you find comfortable to ride - the ergonomics of cruiser style bikes don't work for some people - so it's best to find that out with something you can sell for the same price you bought, if it turns out to not be right for you.
