Best first sport bike on a budget?

I am looking into buying my first sports bike. I have rode dirt bikes for about 4 years for fun but nothing serious like motocross. I am looking in to getting a Honda cb500f because i feel like people get 250cc motorcycles as beginner bikes. Insinuating that when they get used to riding they will buy a new motorcycle that seems like a waste of close to 4000 dollars. Am i wrong for wanting to get a bike that will allow me to enjoy it for longer than when i just get used to riding it. Am i going about this wrong or is it a good idea. Also my state doesn't have a law against starting on a bike bigger than a 250cc. If i am right is the 500f a good bike. Also i want to spend less than 6500 on it. Also i was wondering how bad do you get beat by the wind on the cb500f? Thank you for your time.
Added (1). my state does require me to take the skills test on a 250cc or less motorcycle so i will instead be taking the msf basic riders course and it also (along with giving me a great training) waives the skills test.
