A cruiser 1000cc is far more forgiving than a sportbike of similar displacement. The latter is extremely responsive, turns on a dime, while a cruiser doesn't.
A 250 ninja is a great starter bike, but unless your live in hilly/curvy terrain, you'll out grow it quickly. The new ninja 650 is a somewhat bigger bike, but still very novice friendly.
Or if interested, I have an '09 fz1 for sale..
