Didn't bother reading the other pages but my friend had a CB250 and it seemed to be good for a learner and not expensive either. Another friend had a Spada which he said was a decent bike aswell (more sporty than the CB250). You won't have the bike for that long anyway because as you would already know, their learning/provisional periods are different.

Why not buy a cheap yet reliable first bike and save up money for a nice bike when you get your full license like a Triumph Daytona 675 - hot.
