My personal experience was starting with a 1978 Yamaha XS400. Friend of mine and I bought two at the same time. Wasn't the best handling bike, so I discovered when I finally moved up to a 1980 Honda 750F. Kind of wish I'd started on that one as it handled really nice compared to the Yammy.
I'd read the reviews of any bike he's going to get and see which are considered the good handlers. It will make a lot of difference in gaining confidence riding.
