There’s one or two on this thread that will suggest that you earn your wings before buying your first ‘beast’ bike.
Anything 300cc or above will feel good and nippy, you don’t need 80-100hp on day one, I’d stick about 50hp until you can do things without thinking.
Depends what bike you learn on as well. If you learn on a Bandit you’ll love straight 4’s and a school bike will be barely hitting the required 60hp for full license.

That was my thought. But it was pointed out to me that it's perfectly possible to ride a 100bhp bike using no more than 50bhp of the available power, provided you have the necessary self-control. Whether I have the necessary self-control remains to be seen.

Cheers. Current plan is to go straight to Direct Access, possibly in May, get a full licence and get a Street Triple 765R. My motorbike guru Geoff says that's a good plan. Whether he's right or not remains to be seen.
