I heartily endorse dazco's advice. (And Gary's, too, since I see he also managed to post while I was still slowly typing away.) In the long run, I think you'll do fine on a Bonneville, but I wouldn't recommend it at the beginning.
To tell the truth, I learned on a Bonneville myself, but there are some crucial differences. First, that was half a gazillion years ago, when Bonnies were significantly lighter than they are today. Second, I was significantly taller.
The Bonneville is still a very desirable bike, but I would recommend learning and passing your riding test on something lighter...a bike more like the ones they use for MSF riding courses (a good class to consider!). Experience plenty of real-world riding on an agile and forgiving machine for another year or so, then step up to the one you really want. There's no rush.
