I know, for example, that more CC = more power. I don't need much power though - 70 MPH is the fastest I will ever go (that's if I decide to actually go onto the interstate). I have considered just getting a moped as well since I am not doing this for a *cool factor*. For a college student that just wants something cheap on gas and something fun to ride, which size moped/motorcycle should I get? Also, many of the males in my family ride motorcycles, but I haven't ever tried, so would it be better for me to get a moped instead? At least until I get some experience on two-wheeled vehicles.

you can get much information in this website,kindly stay a minute in website and check anyone link at a time,and you can aslo get your question answer in Google Search in this website, which has already helped me very much.
Buy something used and inexpensive for a starter bike.
Look for something old but not too old. You don't want something so old that it is a junker, but not something so new that you'll feel bad if you lay it down.
Look for something in the 500 - 800 CC engine size. This will be powerful enough so you don't get bored too soon, but not so fast that you will be afraid of it. Anything less than 500 CC will be working pretty hard if you take it for any distance on an interstate at 70 MPH. The vibration and noise of a small engine working this hard will drive you nuts after a short while.
Look for a standard or cruiser bike for your first bike. They are more forgiving. Stay away from the sport bikes for your first bike as they require more skill. Also used sport bikes tend to be more abused.
Watch the classified section of your local news paper. Some locations have shopper magazines with used motorcycles in your area. Reasonable used bikes are out there. Be patient. Don't buy too quickly, but if you find one you like, buy it right away. Unfortunately, with the price of gas, the price of used bikes has also risen. If you find a good starter bike, don't hesitate as they can sell quickly.
Don't get hung up on any particular brand. They are all about the same. Pay more attention to the bike's condition. If any one brand were really superior to all other brands, this would be the only brand bike on the road. In addition, if any brand bike was really inferior to the other brands, nobody would buy them and the company would be out of business.
Learn on this bike. Make your mistakes on it. You will make mistakes. Would you rather make your mistakes on an older bike or your nice shiny expensive new bike?
The most important thing you should do when getting your first bike is to take a motorcycle safety course.
After you have been riding a while and gain some experience, you can sell your starter bike and get the one you want. If maintained properly and not abused, you won't lose too much money on your starter bike. Put the money from the sale towards the bike you really want. By this time, you will have figured out what style bike best suits your riding style and needs.
If you settle on a sport bike for your next bike, avoid the used ones. As I said before, these bikes tend to be more abused. So if considering a sport bike, consider something new.
I know I used this answer before. However I feel this is good advice.
Very wise to not grab the biggest crotch rocket you can find!! Experience REALLY counts when riding a scoot! I'd look at the Vespa line...good looking (read:chick magnets) , good name (when it's time to sell) , the engines are around 250 cc I think, and (big drum roll) they are 4 cycle now!! No oil / gas mixing!!
Dual purpose bikes like this ( http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelhome/574/0/home.aspx ) are a blast to ride. You can get them pretty cheap used and they're easy to maintain yourself - a good way to learn. The riding position is high so you can see in traffic, they're easy to maneuver, great to zip around the city, and fun to ride on trails outside the city. However, they're not fun to ride on the freeway for an extended amount of time.
