^^ i agree to a certain extend.

if you want a sport bike and got a naked bike as your Ls, by the time you on your full and want a proper sport bike you get a 600 something, you would have to relearn some of the riding techniques as it is very different between the two.

also for your P license. you use their bikes not yours..which mostly are naked anywas and you can pretty much pick it up on the way.

naked are good to start on though
