The LTD or CB are great bikes to learn on. The YZF is kinda wide and tall for many women.
If it were for solely me I think my order would be CB, YZF, LTD.

I'm a little torn. The YZF 600 will be a completely different animal to ride than the other two. It will be alot more fun to ride without a doubt. However, the other two bikes could almost be considered classics, and with low mileage and good condition it makes you tempted. I'd probably buy the YZF and one of the two others, because they're so cheap anyway.

Take your girl with you and let her decide which one if she will be riding it.

Well, I believe its the 750 classic, not the supersport. My girl will be coming with me, but she's having a hard time deciding as well. She wants either the Cb 750, or the YZF 600.. she doesn't know. I guess it will change once she sits on them to see how they feel. I kinda want the YZF 600 cause I've always wanted a sport bike, but I love the looks of the bobber/cafe racer style. I think I'm leaning a bit more towards the CB 750 though..
