I disagree, but I am in the minority. "First bikes" are always fun and scary, and you want it to be cheap enough to not make you commit suicide when you drop it in a wet parking lot. I've taught 4 or 5 people how to ride on my GSXR1000s, and as long as you don't get all ham-fisted and grab a whole lot of throttle, they're pussycats.

Then, when you do grab some throttle, the beast reminds you that you're not worthy, and you calm down real fast

I feel u on the sole fact that they have the power to put u in check, but I think this is WAY to much for a first bike. I learned on an r6, and even that was outta my league at the time.
