So what size was your first STREET bike (knowing many people started out on dirtbikes)?
Was it an I4 or a Twin?
Did you have previous experience (i.e. with dirtbikes)?
If you started on something "bigger," do you think it hurt your development as a rider or do you wish you'd started smaller?

That clearly doesn't apply to me. 1984 Honda VF500F, and because it was a tank it took my newb beatings really well. Those are V-twins and I had no previous experience at all. I'm extremely glad I didn't start out on something larger and actually wish I'd started out on a 250.
