Engine displacement can have very little to do with bike "size". The C50 is very close in OAL to the C90. It is a bit lighter, which is a good thing for a newbie and a few less hp, which is also a good thing for a newbie. There are experience riders on this forum riding small displacement bikes.
One of my riding buddies is 6' 330 and he does just fine on his 800. Obviously he is a big guy but does that mean he should ride a boss hoss due to his size? A very large newbie would probably die shortly on such a bike. Or maybe a Hyaubusa. Very dead very quickly.
Displacement and hp should not outweigh your skill as a rider. Larger bikes can be more comfortable for larger riders but not in all cases.
