Try this site. I imagine you will have no problems putting both feet down on a Ninja 250 (although many novices find putting both feet down inspires confidence it is not truly necessary).

My advice would be to look for a secondhand bike of small displacement, in good condition and to take a professional training course.

Although it shares a name with more fire-breathing Kawasaki models the 250 is intended to ease novice riders into riding, it is a reasonable choice.

That's the thing. Even in NC, there are going to be days that you just don't want to ride at all because of the weather conditions. And it does rain a lot there. The first time you get caught in a downpour on the highway, you learn how that it is not desirable. Smart people get off the road as soon as they can. That's why I like riding in the West so much, but it is definitely seasonal here. I have two weeks (hopefully), before I have to drain and store my bike. As soon as the overnight temperature goes below freezing, that's where I draw the line. Season's over at that point.

Well, he doesn't spend money on cash, probably no insurance, maybe not even a tag. Plug in on campus and get free elect! Not only is your friend cool, pretty smart too!
