Bikes are the best.
I got my first motorcycle when I was 10 Years old.

For a starter bike I would recommend a mid 70's Honda 400/4.
Small, Light, fast enough, easy to find parts, reliable, and who cares if you drop it and beat it up?

These days I have

52 Pan/Shovel Rigid Chopper, full custom, hand made everything.
(I actually tore it back down and have just finished welding in a new front section for the frame)
66 Guzzi
73 Laverda
78 HD XLCR
56 James Colonel
89 Honda Dominator
84 Husky 400 2 stroke
73 Suzuki 750 2 stroke

And then theres some basket cases lying around the shop too.

Just sold my last Ducati, Ive had several and Ill never buy another. Beautiful machines, but the support and service in North America is pathetic. Unless you like getting ass raped over punk little details while ignorant and unskilled T Shirt salesman try to tell you how to set up a track bike.
