    I wouldn’t recommend anyone starting on a 600 supersport of they haven’t ever ridden a motorcycle before. Too much power, too aggressive ergonomics. 400s are still plenty fast to 60mph. My recommendation is 300cc-500cc for a sport or naked bike, or up to 800cc for cruisers (where you really gotta watch out more for high weight than high power)

        I know people IRL who start on 600s, and they are usually fine (although survivorship bias plays a role there). If you have a good grasp on how to ride motorcycles now, you’re good, but it’s risky for a noob to start on such a powerful fast bike.
