back when i was in gr 10 i was dicking about with pocket bikes with a friend when we got in shit from the police. he ended up giving me a lecture and how if i was patient i'd have so much more fun on a real motorcycle and be street legal. after that, i read on and on about my first bike, gear, and kept hearing about pacific riding school on revscene. years later i finally committed to it after friends/coworkers pressed me on getting a bike
personally, i really wanted an r6, or a cbr 600rr, but i knew what was best for me. I waited for the right deal on a ninja 250r, undoubtedly the best starter bike, still decently stylish, and of course price was important (i spent about 3 grand on the bike -- just like your budget).
i have no regrets taking prs, or buying my 250. i hope at the very least if you jump straight on a 6 you go to a riding school. the other thing is if youre not too tall the learning curve on the r6 n cbr might make things tougher (gsxr the lowest of the 3 you listed). i'm 5'6 and i was glad i could put both my feet down on the 250, especially when i was learning.
good luck!
