I learned to ride on an 80's Honda CB125. I love that bike, but it doesn't like anything over 40 mph.
That's good to learn on, but if you live more than 6 months, you'll be ready for something bigger.
Some beginner tips, use 80% rear brake at first to avoid locking the front tire. Locking the rear, at low speeds, isn't as big of a deal.
Don't ride in the middle of the lane, thats where more oil dripping from cars tends to land.
Give cars behind you plenty of warning, and always watch your mirrors. Even stopped at a red light, a car can and will not see you and slam into you, thus ending your life.
At stops, keep it in first and keep an eye on that mirror to make sure that car behind you is going to stop. If he doesn't, be prepared to move quick out of his way.
Wear your helmet. Wear riding attire. Don't ride with just jeans and a t-shirt. When you drop that bike, you need something to put between the road and you.
You have to be much more aware when riding a bike.
Have fun
