I dont mind going through that process of selling and buying another bike, if it means the best for me.

just to be clear though, as much as you want to and many of us do, don't buy your bike based on looks. that is probably the greatest mistake of all.
better to look like a fool riding a 250 for a season or two and learn properly then ending up on the gravel riding a 600 and whatever consequences that may follow.
a 250 top speed is 170km/h. thats redlining on top gear, but it can easily do the 120km/h on highway. so unless you plan on getting your bike impounded, a 250 is fine for highway journeys.

I dont really mind much about looks, if it means i can become a better rider. A guy i know says hes gonna get a ZX-10R for his first bike....
I've narrowed it down to 3 bikes. The R6, Ninja 250, or the older CBR600F4i
Budget: ~4Gs for a bike, 1.5Gs for gear, 1G for Insurance, 900 bucks for PRS
