^x2 on this.Learn wrist management. It's not the size but the operator.
I used to ride dirt bikes as a kid. My first street bike was a Suzuki GS500. Fun bike, no fairings to bust up in case I dropped it (which I never did btw). Fun bike to get your skills honed on. Then I eventually had the opportunity to ride other bikes from 650cc to 1600cc on a regular basis and settled on an FZ1. That was a fun bike. It's all in the wrist.
Btw- took my MSF at Honda HQ in Alpharetta and highly recommend that facility. All new bikes.
Good luck.
