Is the KTM Duke 790 a good beginner bike?

The KTM Duke 790’s sleek design and impressive specs have attracted many new riders, but are they suitable for the new riders? Others say its electronics and riding modes make it simple enough to ride, while some believe its power and advanced features are too much for novices to control safely. Size, maturity, and prior experience with high-performance vehicles are factors. It's also a question of whether beginning on a less powerful bike gives new riders the opportunity to build the fundamental skills before graduating to something like the 790. Another consideration is cost; dropping a new Duke 790 would be harder financially than a used smaller bike.
