My opinion is you can’t go wrong with a Ninja 250r. Enough power for any road but light, and easy to ride. They are cheap and readily available on the used market and not too hard to resell if you want to upgrade. Only problem is the new models (`08 and later) have a fairing crease that is too low for the long-legged. Not a problem with pre-08.
Though I have seen the FZ6r listed as an OK beginner bike so it would not be a problem either if you are comfortable and responsible on a bike.
