+1 to the SV650 it's a great commuter and beginner bike plus the aftermarket is so insane for it that you can turn it into a bike that fits the kind of riding that you will discover. Your goal with a first bike is something that's forgiving and can grow a little with you on your journey in motorcycling.

Also doesn't hurt that it's easy to work on and inexpensive.

I'd steer you away from new beginner bikes because you WILL drop it and if it's new you'll feel bad/crappy about it.

If you haven't don't so already I'd recommend doing an MSF course as well a few times and the advanced rider course afterwards.

Hope this helps, i'll keep an eye in case you want to know something specifically about those bikes you listed. I have strong feelings about the KTM390.

And lastly, welcome to your new addiction.

Sincerely,
