Its not a good first bike! But yes, you can learn, you just have to be very cautious. This is a powerful bike, and it is not as easy to ride as smaller lighter bikes, or sport bikes. When you practice enough it will be perfectly fine, but at the beginning be extra aware of what you are riding! You will be able to learn the clutch very quickly since you drive manual, but my advice is train or take lessons on a small bike and then move to this.
