I started on a 1990 ninja 750, but it was so heavy and the carbs were so messed up that it was worse than a 250. It took me about a month to get the carbs running right, and after that I do believe all that power hindered me for awile.

Then new 1996 YZF600. Got 1100 miles out of my learning curve (first 2 wheeler ever!) before I did $3800 in damages. I was unhurt, fixed the bike, Insurance was totalled.
I say newbies start out on cheap bikes regardless of cc!

2007 Ninja 650R. 7,000 miles in my first season without a single drop. Gear advocate from the beginning and proud of it. I just feel naked moving faster than walking pace without my helmet, jacket, and gloves.

First street bike I owned myself completely was a 600cc I4. However, I rode my brother's Yamaha 150 allot when I was a teenager.

My first bike was a 1989 GSXR 1100, at the age of 18 my mom was not too happy. I survived though.

The Uly is my first street bike. All my street miles are on its odometer.
