Almost impossible because the bits you know how to fix, won't break.
I would say minimum I would be happy to be equipped and able to do would be..
Fix punctures
Repair a broken chain
Sort a fuel blockage
Bypass ignition / kill-switch
Jump-start and bump-start
Repair a cracked engine case
Splint a broken frame, luggage rack, handlebars etc.
Bypass holed radiator
Repair / replace a coolant, oil or fuel pipe.
Repair / replace throttle or clutch cable (or hose)
Replace gear, brake, clutch lever
Those are the main things that have stopped me in the past. Anything else get a tow or lift to somewhere or someone to sort it out.
Not an exhaustive list but I hope that gives you some ideas.
As to which bike to use to learn, the obvious would be the bike you will travel with.
