Yeah, the 6R can be a fine beginner bike.
It all depends on who you are. If you are dumb enough to ride like a maniac while having no or little experience, then you are asking to get yourself in some serious trouble on any bike. If you use common sense and good, sound judgment, then you will be just fine no matter what bike you choose. The reason so many people suggest starting on a smaller-displaced bike is because they are less responsive in the throttle (and sometimes more responsive to rider input due to them being lighter). But, when it comes right down to it, the bike will only go as fast as you make it. Use your head, and remember that the bike doesn’t have to go 160 just because it can.
On a little side note: My first bike was a ’01 CBR929RR. See… don’t be retarded and you will be just fine.
Welcome to the board, by the way.
