No. You first sportbike should safely not have much more than 75-80 horsepower, the tuono has 139. That is a ton, even for some experienced riders. Riding dirt and street are quite different. Difference becomes danger when dealing with a bike this fast. Any mistakes made with the throttle, steering or brakes are not going to be forgiven very well on a bike like this. You really should consider starting out with a 500 or 600, and not one of the race replica 600's either. Ride a ninja 500 or 650, suzuki gs500f, katana 600 or something like that for a couple of years and then graduate to a more powerful bike. These bikes may not be as cool as the tuono, but they will treat a new street rider a lot better and keep you much safer.
