take the one you like best. you learn with anything, and you learn even more by following friends. I started with a 2006 ninja 636 and ended up with a ktm rc8r, trying ducati 848, ninja 1000, ktm adventure, gsxr 600 and more.. it will be all relative and all a matter of habit, I noticed that the saddle of the ninja 636 is taller than many bikes, but it never bothered me, but there are those who bother, so don't ask others how they are, just have the experience on your own. one thing that may please me it is not said that you like it .. let us know what you get;)
