The R1 is a race bike.
Everyone has an opinion on a good starter bike. You want something that is sporty but, not going to kill you because you gave the wrong input.
I like the Suzuki SV650 or GS500 as a beginner bike. They will be more forgiving as you learn (make mistakes). It is still fairly sporty, naked (SV650) and provides enough power to be out and about.
Easy on the adrenaline. Take the MSF class, get a used bike and learn. Just as anything you do, the skills you develop early will improve with time.
Save for a good helmet, jacket, gloves and over the ankle shoes.

If you're in love with yamaha sport bikes, but are looking for something a little less high-strung than an R6, you might look at a YZF600. It's basically the R6 from a few years ago, heavily discounted and a little detuned. It still looks like a sportbike, is still available in Yamaha blue, and is a pretty decent sports tourer.
Otherwise, the suggestion of one of the other posters is a good one. Think SV650, or Ninja 500, maybe even a Ducati Monster 600/620.
Oh, and take the MSF course, buy good gear that fits, and wear it all the time.

I agree with whoever told you that the R6 is too fast and the R1 is way too fast. After I got out of the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) class, I got an old Honda CX500 with 50 hp, and I would probably have scared myself out of my wits with a bike that has nearly twice that power like an R6.
I'll suggest you take the MSF class too, and see how comfortable you feel riding around on the 250 cc bikes they have in the excercises. If you feel that's all you can manage, your best bet will be a Ninja 250. If you think you're ready for a bit more, look for one of the 500 cc sportbikes like a Ninja 500, GS500, or Buell Blast.

Step #a million: verify in for and take an MSF direction. do not even imagine of having on that bike without passing the classification, or you'll die. Step #2: purchase complete equipment and positioned on all of it the time. each and every vacation. complete face helmet, jacket and gloves on the least, and upload bike boots and overpants if plausible. funds $500 - $one thousand only for the equipment, and once you pass down (because anybody does finally) you'd be more than satisfied you've been donning it! Step #3: under no circumstances anticipate that merely because you're careful, responsible, athletic, mature, or maybe if that the bike OR different drivers supply even the tiniest little bit of a rattling for you. even if you should pass quick, the bike you desire will do it earlier you could blink, and it is going to toss you on your face merely as quick. Step #4: enable's anticipate you've an MSF direction less than your belt, complete equipment on your body, and left your ego at domicile so that you'll concentration on driving. come across a smooth highway with little or no site visitors and prepare. %. a manhole conceal and swerve round it, getting as close as you dare earlier swerving. attempt this until eventually you're sick of it, then carry out somewhat more beneficial. Then prepare panic stops, protecting in recommendations that the front brake is what stops you, no longer your precise foot. quit as complicated as you could from 30mph, then 40, then 50 etc until eventually swerving and preventing appropriately is automated. it is going to keep your epidermis sometime, trust me. Step #4: do not decrease back from undesirable climate. it is going to coach you to be mushy and unafraid, as driving annoying will move precise into the bike and make it sense scary. undergo in recommendations, the spectacular thing about motorcycles is they ought to LEAN to prepare, and the tilt is the position the magic is. every person can pass quick in a instantly line, yet authentic riders understand a thanks to lean.

my 1st thing is, learn to ride! start small, say a 350cc anything and build your confidence and ability from there! a 1000cc sport bike no experience and little confidence and your a dead man on 2 wheels! take a state sponsored safety course b4 buying a bike and get with an older experienced rider. THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES ON THE ROAD: 1) I AM INVISABLE, NO ONE CAN SEE ME!! 2) RIDE TO BE SEEN!! CAUSE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS YOU LOSE!!!

if you are not getting a bike for 2 or 3 years, why dont you wait until you get a little closer. There is always better handling, more reliable machines coming onto the market.
