The advantage of starting on something with less power is you'll be able to push the bike a bit more without it getting you in as much trouble. I could do things to my Gladius that if I did to my FZ-09 I'd be eating asphalt. You can start on any bike as long as you have a level head but some bikes are better then others for beginners.

I'd start on a 250, 500 or maybe something like sv650 and upgrade from there.
