I built the ZZR for my wife and she absolutely adores it. I know you can't get the 400 in the US, but it's the same bike as the ZX6E except for the engine, and the ZX6E is still plenty tame for a novice. If you can find one of those, I'd recommend it.

There's also the YZF600R, SV650, F4i, and the like. I don't have any experience with Kawasaki's new 650 twin, but I imagine it would make a pretty decent starting bike as well.
