There are pros and cons to starting on either. As long as you respect the bike and understand the consequences, IMO, you can start on anything.

Ummm...No.
There's a reason why other countries have graduated licensing for motorcycles. Countries that have a way better licensing system than the joke we have here in the States. There's a reason why racers have to graduate up classes. No one jumps on a GP bike as their first time out racing.
There is a limit as to how far that "respect" is going to save your a$$ past a certain displacement sport bike. And if you ride in fear of the bike all the time is it really the right bike for you?
