I would not recommend a supersport to a beginner. My first bike was a 233 cruiser no-name. I drove it for a week before springing for a deal on a YZF 600R. While I never dropped it, it was still too much power for me to handle at my skill level even though I never explored that power. I knew to keep the gas down low, ignoring my 21 year old brain and completely respecting the bike as well as driving conditions. I doubt most 21 year olds can resist the urge of speed which is why I wouldnt recommend such a bike. As to what bike to recommend...I think it depends on the person, how intelligent they are and what theyre looking for.
