Default Attention Riders: Advice on first motorcycle

I was hoping I could get some advice on my first bike (and any other advice for a newbie)...I am looking at a cruiser-style bike (used) that is nimble enough for occasional city use but comfortable enough for longer rides into the mountains. Small enough engine so that I am not effectively committing suicide but large enough that I am not bored after a season...

Right now I have it down to a 1994-2003 Honda Magna or the 2006 Suzuki M50 Boulevard, with a definite leaning towards the Magna...

Any suggestions?

I will also be taking another riding class and spending a lot of time riding with the father-in-law (an ex-motorcycle cop) so I am not planning on ending up a greasy smear on crowchild. Any suggestions on training would be much appreciated.
