Given that you want something manageable and this will be your first bike, here are a few options we recommend.

The Honda CB300F and CB300R are both lightweight, well-built, and have low seat heights. You could also check out the KTM 250 Duke or the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250. Both are mechanically identical, but they differ in styling and riding posture, the Vitpilen has a slightly taller seat than the Duke.

All these are fun and entertaining first bike with a reasonable performance ceiling to keep you interested for a long time.
