SV650 is my recommendation. It doesn't really matter in the end though, as long as you never exceed your comfort level.

I'm thinking of a 1997 BMW F650 with only 4000miles on it.

Hayabusa is quite possibly the single best bike to start on. Reason being is it is slow to accelerate, you won't outgrow it and it handles amazingly well.
