Honda CBR600
Kawasaki Ninja 600
Both are great learning bikes and very forgiving to new riders but can also be pushed very hard as you advance. I suggest the older carb'd models although the newer injected models are fine too they just have a bit faster throttle response.
I wouldn't reccomend a smaller bike because you will outgrow it quickly and if you can show me anyone who can honestly outgrow a 600 as far as ability to outperform the bike then I will bolish your nuts myself...600 class is the performer class when it comes to racing.

If you are looking for a sport bike, CBR600 f4i. reliable, forgiving, enough power to make you go...yeah I don't need to upgrade.
If you are looking for a cruiser, Shadow without a fuggin doubt!
DO NOT GET ANYTHING HIGHER THAN THE 600 Class. There is no fuggin need for anything over 600cc. You can go 170 if you need, you can accelerate faster than you will want to...anything over just shouldn't be on the street imho. Like the new ZX-14R from Kawasaki...too crazy
