"learner bike" and "long term bike" are two different things. Learning about riding is a long term effort, but I digress.
I assume this is for pavement? But a used bike that you don't mind dropping. SV650 is a good choice, Ninja 500 is another classic one. Most anything will do - just make sure it is well maintained and everything works. Take the MSF course and wear full gear. As in full gear - real motorcycle boots, pants, jacket, gloves, and helmet.
I bought a Monster 620 as a "re-entry" bike and quickly moved to something else as it was a bit small for my taste. I moved to a Truimph Speed 4 then eventually back to Ducatis, an Aprilia, and now have had the same BMW R1200GS for the past 3 years. If you really want a Duc, find a 620 and learn on that, then sell it for something later on.
