I started riding on a 1999 BMW F650, I’m 5’10” w/32″ inseam, I didn’t flatfoot while standing over the bike, I also managed never dropping the bike on pavement.. only while riding in the dirt.
IMO, SV650 is a great bike to start, especially in SoCal where highway speed on a bike is somewhat important. I’d avoid the 600 class sportbikes for beginners.
