No more CC restriction, but some of those LAMS bikes are horrible. If you want to upgrade to a sporty 600+, I'd suggest learning on a grey import or possibly the Hyo GT 650 maybe the SV650 even.

But you definitely can't go wrong with a CBR/FZR/ZXR etc provided you're off reasonable height and weight.

I disagree. An appropriate 250 will teach you so many valuable skills that you will need when you jump on a big bike.

Having 20,000rpm teaches you to control your revs and rev range. Not doing that on a litre bike can be deadly. Sporty 250's are unforgiving and will teach you sportsbike language pretty well.

As for resale, I sold mine for a grand more than I bought it. Most have awesome resale values. So spending a bit more money is no biggy as you'll likely get it all back.

Provided you don't drop it. I wouldn't recommend anyone spend over $4000, $5000 at the very most on a learners bike. You've got too far to fall if you do damage the bike.
