Maybe, but you don't yet have the skills to maintain throttle control in all situations. Knowing where that control needs to be during turns, emergency stops, swerves, etc, is all about control...but you don't necessarily know where that is.however, from what i experienced from starting on a SBK... the bike's only as powerful as you let it be.
in other words, it's just throttle control.
So far so good, but I think what everyone is saying is that you are trying too much too fast, and are worried about improving your riding skills when you haven't learned the basics yet.
I was nervous about buying a 500cc bike until I took the MSF and really learned what to do (the basics). I've been terrible about practicing my low-speed handling, but I consider that my priority - not learning how to go faster or corner tighter. I would have never considered the bike that I did without the training I had (well, I wouldnt have bought a bike period without professional training) but even then I was set on a 250cc Nighthawk or Rebel. At the end of my training someone at the dealership said they had a Shadow 750 for sale, dirt cheap, good condition, but I turned it down because it was too much bike for my skill level.
You're in control...what happens when you aren't? What are you going to do? Thats what causes accidents, a loss of control. Skill level increases, likelyhood of losing control decreases, bike power decreases, likelyhood of losing control decreases. You have a low skill level and a high powered bike, so your likelyhood of losing control is extremely high. I'd post a line graph for you but I dont know how to attach images to this board.
