Any bike CAN be a decent bike to learn on. But, typically the newer 600cc bikes have more peaky power bands, which makes it more difficult to learn proper throttle control.

There's nothing wrong with getting a bike that is a bit older, e.g. Honda CBR600 F2 or F3, Yamaha FZR600 or YZF600R. They are absolutely competent bikes. In fact, I think they once had an overlap of a dyno chart from the YZF600R and a newer 600cc bike, and the YZR600R kept up throughout the whole powerband until just past 10k rpm.

Plus, older bikes tend to have larger aftermarket support, so you could always trick it out with the cash you'd save from buying a newer bike. And insurance premiums can be lower with older bikes.

Yeah make sure it has extended swing arms and atleast a 20-40 shot or built motor w/ a T25 is even better.
