The bottom line is simple... a high powered low weight bike greatly increases your opportunity for death or disfigurement during the 100's of mistakes you will make when riding your motorcycle. If you are comfortable with the idea that you may end up paralyzed or dead because you wanted to ride a motorcycle, by all means, go get the most capable bike out there. If that thought scares you, buy something a little more tame until your skills more closely match your bikes capabilities.

Either way, remember, your bike may lure you into thinking it's your best friend. But, given the chance, it will snap your back and plow your face on the pavement until your brains hang out where your nose used to be. Don't forget that and you'll be fine.

Ride safe and you'll look back on the experience happy you did so.
