Bikes are dangerous and if you've never ridden - I mean really ridden - you need to go with a smaller bike.
Three years ago Lightspeed bought me a bike as a bonus. Although I had owned bikes before, I went with a small Ninja 500. I also took a motorcycle saftey course - in fact, I learned one of the most important things about driving a course, something I hadn't learned on my own or through other courses.
Once I felt better about being on a bike again I upgraded - to a Honda CBRxx 1100. It's the biggest bike I've ever driven but now I'm so used to it anything smaller feels, well, small.
Go with a small bike for at least a year, perhaps two.
Keep in mind that if you have an accident with a car you have a fender bender. An accident on a bike means your going to the hospital - and that's if your lucky.
Good luck.
