I would recommend one of the naked 600 series bikes like a z650 or a sv600. Both are very capable having fun on but remain comfortable for ride position
If you have rode for a long time I would start with a 600cc. Has enough power but not to much. The 600 will also be worth the money you spend to. I wish I would've done that instead of getting a 250 for my first one haha.
