Really depends on your temperament. My first bike was a DL1000 and I’m still alive 23 riding years later having never done anything worse than some mid speed lowsides. But I didn’t start riding until my late 20s. And with a true superbike maybe it would have turned out different. The DL1000 is a sport tourer and it was plenty fast enough for me without enough power to break the rear loose or throw me if I made small mistakes.
Not saying your advice is bad, it’s not, but everyone is different.
Same. Becoming a veteran rider turned me into a much safer, more conservative driver. You start to see all the risks everywhere and plan accordingly.
