Has your friend ever ridden ANY type of street or dirt bike?
Step one would be to take the MSF course. This will get him acclimated to riding and who knows, he may decide it is not for him after all.
Only after taking the course should he start looking for a bike. I am going to parrot what the others said, if he doesn't wrench, he shouldn't go vintage. Every riding season my bikes need something done to them. If he goes vintage it will be the same, and since he won't be wrenching, he may have a hard time finding a shop even willing to work on older Non-Harley machines.
A newer vintage-style seems ideal for him--all of the look without the worries.
He should test different models before settling--every bike has a different feel, and getting one that "fits" with you is crucial.
At a minimum a quality helmet is a must.
