He had never ridden before either, and he had quite the learning curve before he was able to ride proficiently any farther than across the street. If you already know how to balance 400lbs of bike, or have experience with a manual car, you will probably have an easier time than he did.
I myself had a 150cc scooter for a year and a half before deciding to upgrade to a Suzuki GS500F (a crotch rocket). I feel my learning curve is not that tight. Because I already know how to balance out 400lbs of machine, and have handled a manual transmission car before, I am doing decently well on my new bike.
I think if you go for anything bigger, you might have issues. Learning weights are really easy to sell, so I don't think you will have trouble getting rid of it once you feel you're a proficient enough rider.
Hope this information helps you!

So far I think this was the best piece of advice though the guy is probably long gone and hasn't posted since this one. So David is probably a squid by now and more likely the guy who came flying by me on a GSXR 1000 on one wheel doing close to 110 mph.. lol..
