Welcome and hi, 600 for a start would be my recommendation.

Hello and welcome
500 or 600 will do nicely, but buy something that you wont be afraid to drop! Sounds bad but it does happen and a shiny new bike with scratches all over is a real pisser!
An older bike with a few battle scars wont show minor damage as much.
Whatever you choose dont try and keep up with the "plastic rocket brigade" you wont have the experience yet, but it will come. Enjoy the bike for what it is and not what you wish it was, ride safe and stay alive.

welcome! I'm a YBR125 owner too who's looking to upgrade soon. So much choice out there, isn't there?

I would go with much of the advice above. I got back into biking after many years last year and got myself a naked bike on the basis there is less damaged caused when you drop it but also speeds above 70ish become unpleasant and therefore it stops you doing anything stupid too soon. :

Hi Stew...
One of my old instructors used to have a Fazer 600 (as did I at the time), and he did a track day at Llandow on it, fully equipped with hard luggage, just for the hell of it. Still made a few others look stupid, whilst getting his knee down. As my Mrs always says, 'it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it'... ;D
