I started out at 16 on one of these:

Fully geared, and capable of about 40mph (mines was a 1977 model, so was never restricted from new). I liked it plus it was nice riding something a bit older I could work on, and I sold it on for a profit after I turned 17 and moved up to a Yamaha RXS100.
I would say if possible go geared from the get go.
