Sportbike and 19 and beginner
What he said. Start saving now as insurance on even a 300 ninja will be expensive.Worst possible combination unfortunately, so you'll be wanting to start on a low CC bike (Ninja 250/300), and get yourself lined up for the M1 Exit (m2) training first thing come the spring as most insurance companies won't insure you with an M1, and without the training course.
He'll be alright. My wife is 5'3" and she could touch ok on her ninja 250, I refused to lower it lol.At 5'5" you might find it hard to flat-foot it while sitting stopped. You might find you have to tippy-toe or move to one side to flat-foot it. Might want to go to some dealers and sit on a few different makes to see what fits.
Might be worth considering a small-displacement cruiser like a Virago 250. It'd be much easier to insure than a sport bike and should be easier ergonomically. You can still have lots of fun and learn a ton as a new rider on a bike like that.
