Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about a big bike, I wanted and still do want a Zx7r. I thought they looked mean as f*ck and awesome so I asked for advice on a different forum and I got a load of people telling me to start small or update the donor card so I opted for the zxr400 which actually was awesome however I only rode it maybe a hundred miles before it knocked over and then damaged again and now it's totally stripped as I decided to fully rebuild it. So I basically started riding on the Zx9r which I bought after the 400 and you know what. It's easy to do 30mph or it and it's easy to do 60mph, yeah it's easy to do 140 on it as well but as long as you've got restraint it's not as dangerous as a small bike.
I'm 5ft 8 and the nine is a bit too big for me, I'm on tippy toes with it but it's a great bike, easy to ride, not sore for long journeys. It was supposed to be a sports bike back in the day but it's really suited for a sports tourer. They're pretty cheap so maybe take a look at one if you get a chance.
These are my bikes, still own all three. Except the 400 is just a frame at the minute.
