That bike is over 100hp and I would not consider it suitable for a beginner. This is why I say I4 600's are a bad idea for beginners. You cannot compare the power output of an inline-4 600 to a twin or single. You also cannot compare it to the output of a 1300 or 1600 v-twin Harley because the I4's make ridiculous power with small displacements.

Small mistakes = big trouble. Keep it under 80hp.
