Help me choose a first bike

Hello all,

I got my licence about 2 months ago and now I'm looking for a bike but nearly all I can get are 125C ones or 500C+ nearly 10 year old ones.

About myself and my planned riding:

\-located in Europe

\-170cm tall (67 inches)

\-85kg weight (187 pounds)

\-budget for bike only is 2500 Euro

\-planned mostly town riding and sometimes a bit out of town but definitely not highway

\-will probably do that only 2 weekends in a month

\-my learner bikes were Yamaha YBR (which I loved how light and controllable it was) and Kawasaki ER6N (which I found too heavy even at the end of the course but still manageable. Also it definitely has more power than I expect to use)

So my question is if getting a 125CC might be an issue or if I'll learn some things that are not good in the long term. If I get something that's more than 125CC the options are Zontes, Benelli, KTM if I'm lucky and there's one Hyosung GT.
