My first bike was and is my 600 Katana. ( Not a stunting bike ) But comfortable and not too bad to learn on. Quick enough to last you for a while, but not too much to handle. ( 4 sec 0-60, and 12 sec 1/4 mile). Don't get too much bike to learn on. I also agree to get something used because you will most likely drop it at least once while getting used to it. Whatever you choose good luck!
