The CBR comes in 125, 250 and (babyblade) 400cc flavours...

Even we have to get most of them on parallel import.

The Arillia RS125, Cagiva Mito and Sach's XTC125 are the real hooligans tools, but the CBR does a nice job of keeping up.

lets see, you need a bike to learn on, and something small displacement? How about cheap to maintain?

Early-mid seventies Honda CB350's and cb360's can be had a decent running condition for very cheap. It sounds like a perfect bike for you. You can even cafe them out to make them cooler looking. Sure, its no CBR, but by no means should the main reason for buying your first bike be looks. If it is, you probably should reconsider this sport.
