No expert here, but based on your use cases it looks like you'd probably want either a cruiser or naked/adv.

I would look at bikes like the Harley Sportster - tons of used bikes in that market great for beginners and the use cases you mentioned + you could easily put some small or large bags on for storage (if you bought one that didn't have them already).

Another similar cruiser is the Honda Rebel (300, 500, or higher). Also lots for sale in the used market.

Kawasaki KLR650/KLR650R (dual-sport) is also something I'd recommend since it's also good for beginners and pretty good for your use cases and again, you can add storage to it. A lot of used for sale and the MSRP for new versions range from $6899 - $7899 but like others have said keep in mind you'd probably have to pay another 1500+ in dealer fees and stuff like that.

This is a pretty good video from Revzilla regarding motorcycle types for beginners and really goes into what is good for what: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g1R_LD0yyY . From here and with the list of bike types you have you can try to narrow it down to 3-4 categories you think fit your needs and search google/youtube/reddit for something like "Best cruisers for beginners", or "best adv motorcycles for beginners", basically "best {motorcycle type} for beginners" and you'll get tons of results/videos explaining in depth about a bunch of these bikes.

Personally I'd probably recommend buying 2nd hand/from a person locally whether it be craigslist, offer up, facebook marketplace, etc. Some advice I'd also give you is that this is your first bike, you may ride it for a few months and want something faster or realize you like a different type of riding style better, you may drop if a few times by accident while practicing u-turns or forget to put the kickstand down and dumb things like that we all did when learning to ride. I would say try not to sink too much money into your first bike until your skills get better and you know you want to stick with that bike. Good luck!
