+1. my first bike was my 08 r6 i had.
its all on the rider not the bike. ive seen people have 1000s as there first bike and do just fine and ive seen ppl start on katanas and still be tools. its all on the individual. basically whether they have any majurity or not. just because you have a 1000 thatll do 160+ doesnt mean you have to go that fast lol.
