I agree with BadNick. 500 CCs or less gets you a few advantages. Low weight, which is pretty important when you are learning, and amazing gas milage if you can keep out of the throttle. I have a little problem with that my self. Easier to steer, and pick up when you screw up. Can't hardly go wrong with any of the Japanese bikes. Rugged, dependable, easy to find parts, and information all over the internet on fixes and mods.
Four cycles have more parts, valves and all, and two cycles may or may not need their oil mixed by hand. Two cycles also sometimes irritate folks a little more, the sound can really get high pitched and loud.
Let us know what you come up with.
