The Katana might work, maybe even something smaller. Handling doesn´t really matter right now, a beginner couldn´t ride any of these bikes to their potential. A SS class bike (Kaw. 636, GSXR600, ect.) is not where you should start. Even though you CAN ride one, you´ll never learn to ride as well as on a smaller bike. It doesn´t matter what it looks like, just as long as it teaches you to RIDE!
