I like that. You are now qualified to start learning how to ride a motorcycle!

The Rebel and Nighthawk are largely the same mechanicals draped with different cosmetics. Both have the same creaky old 250 twin. It makes about 15Hp, top speed is 60ish MPH. They're not bad learners, but not really suitable for highway travel.

Many folks start on the Kawasaki Ninja 250. It's about 300lbs as well, but the high revving 250 makes more than 30Hp. The nice thing about the little ninjette is that it's very tame a low RPMs - low being anything much below 8,000! Above that point the extra power comes available. So it makes a good starter bike, but is also one that can be ridden on the highway and for somewhat longer trips. My wife rode one for a year before graduating upwards and liked it a lot. They're inexpensive and reliable, and widely available used. Probably the best starter bike we have in the U.S. market
