I agree with some of the sentiment here. I would only go with a 250-400 if you are racing in that class or merely looking for something that doesn't burn a lot of gas.
A 600-750cc bike has a good bit of power and can become your regular fun riding machine without necessarily needing to resort to liter bike power. Plus insurance is typically less under 1,000cc.
The other recommendation I'd have is buy something used. That way you're not sinking a bunch of money on a bike while you learn what you like and don't like about riding. Use that first bike to learn about riding but also what your style is. You may want a naked, a touring, adventure or sport bike. Each of these are quite different and cater to different riders.
Many people buy new and then never ride because it's either not for them or they got the wrong bike. So you will easily find 1-2 year old motorcycles barely used at a tidy discount. Good luck and be safe!
