First Bike

I would recommend a 250, and NO a 250 sportbike isnt really "slow" but its not the fastest out there. then again, speed is the very last thing you want in a first bike. start small on a little bike, learn how to ride the piss out of it, THEN move up to a larger faster bike.

Myself I started on an EX500, and took 2 years of riding them to feel comfortable enough to move to a 600. trust me, even 1987 600cc bikes are damned fast machines, I know mine will do all of 75-80 in 3rd.
