I have friends who are in the same boat, both women they are looking at taking the beginners MSF course. They are looking at a minimum of 500cc and have looked at the Buell Blast and used Suzuki 500GSs. The MSF courses teach you the basics of how to ride and usually provide the motrcycles and I have never heard of the drop it you fail thing. I am going to take both courses this summer I taught myself how to ride on my first motorcycle a ZRX 1100 not the best choice but I manged to make it work. More of a sport tourer instead of an outright sport bike. I got out of riding for awhile (sold the ZRX, finances) but was able to get back in last July and purchase a R1 (the afore mentioned monster of a bike). But hey if you respect their power they can be docile or a Mr. Hyde type of affair. If I had to do it over again I would take the MSF course in the beginning (it can also lower your insurance). Start out a little smaller in the motor size and work my way up. Hey my 2 cents. Enjoy it.

Hey wisj2 good to see a fellow Okie, keep both wheels on the road.
