Katana a much better choice for a newbie, still more bike than I would recommend but a better choice.

Why do some dealers recommend Gixxers to newbies ?

No logical reason, commissions maybe ? Maybe they're so used to being around bikes that they forget what it's like for a beginner ?

Why do MSF instructors and Gixxer.com warn against a newbie on a gixxer ? Because they see what happens to beginners on a daily basis and realise the difficulty of mastering this type of bike.
