You bet!!!
All jokes aside, what I like to see (and we are beginning to see that I think) is that first of all, everyone is conscious that the simple act of recommending a bike to someone is a huge responsibility - you may in the end determine the fate of that person by the advice you give her/him.
Second, it seems clear to everyone that the actual person you are recommending that bike to plays a huge role - if the person is objectively responsible, recommending a bigger bike becomes a lot more natural. If you have doubts on the person's responsibility, the bike you will recommend changes drastically.
All I'm trying to say is that I think it is important that NO BIKER brings across the message, "Hell yeah, start on a ZX-6R, it's a piece of cake, if I did it, so can you!" Because that's not the right message. In my opinion (and I also practice what I preach) whenever you (should you ever do so) recommend such a bike to a beginner, it is your MORAL DUTY to make that person understand exactly the kind of dangers they are going to be running, ESPECIALLY since they will be sitting on something that will much more easily throw you on your a.ss than a smaller bike.
CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???
Peace.
