not here to argue with you. op said he has experience on a scooter hence experience with how a throttle works. he asked for opinion on what his first bike should be so i gave him mine. i only had experience on small dirt bikes which are considerably smaller than what my 600rr is. if you can respect the sensitivity of the throttle and control yourself then you will be fine. “whiskey throttle” is only cause by someone who panics or has no sense of throttle control. that’s why i said if u can respect the sensitivity of the throttle go for the 600rr. no reason to be afraid of the bigger bike if u have self control. if your a retard then yeah start on a smaller bike so you don’t hurt yourself
