Is the KTM 690 SMC-R too much bike for a beginner?

A supermoto fan, the KTM 690 SMC R is famous for its powerful single-cylinder engine and lightweight design. Yet, its performance capabilities have raised questions as to whether it is right for new riders to motorcycle. Its power-to-weight ratio and advanced electronics encourage some to say it’s easy to use for beginners, while others feel its aggressive nature and twitchy throttle response would be too much. This discussion also depends upon factors such as the rider’s size, previous experience riding other motorized vehicles, or personal maturity. On top of all this, having the option to both maintain a bike and modify it further is another layer to the beginner friendliness discussion.

Absolutely not! I started on a 690 and it is definitely the best decision I've ever made. It’s super forgiving because of the electronics package.
