Get the biggest bike you can handle is a good rule of thumb A2 bikes (CBF500) just don't offer the "legs" for long runs and offer no advantage if you have a full licence. This I know from my time with Rebel which is basically the same engine.
Therefore if it were me I'd go with the SV650 from your list. I rode one as a insurance loan bike and, whilst not desperately exciting, it's a good base-line "bike experience" IMHO.
You might also consider the Kawasaki ER-6F, MT07/XSR700 (for a touch for torque) and then you're onto a Triumph triple or MT-09 if you need more of a giggle factor ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Why so? Little bro (age 49!) is taking his Mod 1 today and has been looking at bikes, so I have a (vicarious) interest. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Having ridden both (SV650 and ER6F), I can't honestly say I noticed much difference between them, or that either were particularly good or bad on the brakes front. The brakes on both seemed....fine. That's not taking into account that there are multiple versions/revisions of both bikes though.
May just be your brakes need a bit of TLC? ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)
