How tall are you? You may not want a bike with a full fairing because like a previous poster said, if it drops than it can crack the fairing. Frame sliders and engine guards can protect your first bike if it drops though. A Yamaha V-Star 650 might be a good cruiser. Hondas get excellent gas mileage! Honda CB500x or Honda NC 700 may be good. There is also CB 500F which looks sportier. Very reliable.
V stroms and Versys are tall bikes that can be more difficult to manage in low speed maneuvers, but you can also lower them. I rode a v strom for a commuter for years. So many bikes and so many choices!
