Okay, I'm not going to say who is arguing what point but here are both sides.

Side A ) Buy a cheap bike, learn how to ride on that bike, sell bike, buy wanted bike.

Side B ) Simply buy the bike you want, and learn how to ride on that.

What do you think?

A.

If you aren't sure you even enjoy riding...and depending on what bike you "want." It will probably make more sense to go with a cheap easier to ride bike.

Do what you want.

Without even so much as a Hello to the forum, I really don't care what you do.

Buy a Hayabusa and learn on that.

Who pished on your chips???

I would learn on a smaller not as expensive bike. You wont be as nervous of a drop and you'll enjoy more.

As much as starting out on a superbike sounds, I'd be pissed to hell if something were to happen to it (Like fall off due to lack of experience)

Start small, aim big. Would you pass your driving test then instantly purchase a Ferrari? (If I had money, I would, but that's not the point!) Insurance would be a right you-know-what as well if you were to get a big bike straight away.

Smaller bikes are fast enough to get you killed, bigger bikes get you killed faster without the proper experience and training.

I would advise you went for a small bike (Seeing as that view is most probably your parent's!) then as you prove that you are a competent and safe rider to your parents, work your way up.

Do what your instructor tells you.

That's what they're for.
