Moises, with 300+ posts and counting and being a member since Apr., I think you might have seen a few threads regarding this very subject already.

Here is my humble opinion.

If the rider will only ride the bike on a closed course with proper protection. Then whatever.... rock on.

A new driver on public streets should experience the open road from a car for as long as it takes to gain the experience needed to deal with the crazy/unexpected events that occur there.

If that is not an option....

If the rider will be on the street with proper protection then something smaller would fit the bill just fine. It's about acceptable and controlled risk, which is different for everyone.
