I (used to) drive motorcycles as well, and there it's usually not a good idea if an inexperienced driver gets a fast bike as his first bike. Getting some more experience on slower bikes prevents accidents. After 3 years driving a "slow" (for a bike at least... 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds) bike, I bought a racer that could comfortably do 250 km/h with 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds. I don't think it would have been wise to buy that rocket on wheels as a starter bike.
But buying and selling a bike is much different than buying and selling an aircraft, at least in my experience. So I really want to it get it right the first time, and without experience in the "fun" (according to everyone's opinion) aircraft, I don't know how I will like them. So that's where I'm currently stuck: how do they compare and are they a smart move for low hour pilots? I do want to keep it safe.
