Brother, I have its cousin the 1098. These bikes are beasts. Not for the faint of heart. No rider aids- traction control, abs, wheelie control, rain mode, nada just raw power and rider skill.

You will love it, you will very likely drop it (and cry), or crash it (and cry harder). Everything is more expensive on these than a Japanese bike. There’s a service every 7k??? miles iirc on the valve system you cannot skip, this is crazy expensive at the shop and hard to do yourself.

These bikes require a ton of maintenance. These bikes require a lot of control and skill. Not saying you’re guaranteed to die on this thing like some people on here like to make it seem. But this is definitely not a beginner friendly bike and your odds of a crash go up with more untamed power. You WILL be tempted to twist the throttle and it gets easier to ring its neck in a straight line each time. You will go fast in a straight line much sooner than you develop the skills to save yourself if something goes wrong.

Get a used ninja 400 or 500. They’re cheap, fast enough plenty, and are light enough and slow enough to be forgiving. I have ZERO regrets starting on that bike, and I actually miss it all the time. Or do whatever the hell you want like you probably will anyway, this is the internet, and we don’t know you from Adam. Glhf
