Welcome!

I lived in the Chicago area and worked in the city for 20 years, and would suggest passing on the CBR250R if you ride on the Expressways at all.

The CBR just doesn't have the ability to accelerate quickly enough and hold a high enough top speed for anything except city riding in that area IMO.

There are times when you just need to move out.

I'd also suggest taking a MSF Basic Rider course if you are completely new to riding. That, and have all the gear - and wear it all the time.

I'd probably go for the Ninja 300.
