Isn't that just it though, who's hands it's in?

Instructors at my safety lessons, and the salesman where I bought my bike, all agreed that my SV650 would be a good bike for a beginner. For myself, I know I'm not going to go out and drive like an idiot. I don't have a death wish. It's all in how much throttle you give the bike, you can go as slow as you want.
