Motorcycle owners - advice me on my first bike and some questions

I always wanted 2 wheels, but was reluctant because I always hear about deaths and so on.. Pretty dangerous hobby. Anyway I decided to give it a go as I know myself that I am careful driver/rider and not much into over speeding or any other antics.

So I am reading that the first bike should be sterrtbike/roadster as it is easiest one to ride on the city streets.
Something like XJ6 is easy to handle and recommended for beginners:


Do you agree?

Second question - Am I right that the core difference between streetbike like this and sport bike like R6 is that R6 is more for speed on highway + not that comfortable sitting position + clipons instead of real "wheel" which make it harder to navigate (takes more space to turn around for example?)on the streets?

Third question: Besides steet bikes I also fancy cruiser style bikes:



How do they compare to street/roadsters? I assume it is completely different driving style? And not as easy to handle for beginners?

Thanks
