Ahhh...no. Dude that is one of the most insanely powerful motocross bikes made. One of my friends that has been racing for 30 years and is an A class rider raced his twice and sold it because it was too much to handle. You will be able to ride it but will probably spend a great deal of your time either on your back side or replacing rear fenders.

this is a fairly good bike but you dont really need that much power unless you are seriously fat. a 250f will be more than enough power for you as most pro riders dont even use all the power on a 450 if i were you i woulde try and get a decent un thrashed standard 250f any make will be ok but do stay clear of pre 06 kxf,rmz and yzf they all have steel frames and the rmz/kxf over heated badly

no way! way too much power, but if you have done some riding befor you may be able to get on it and ride some til you get used to the bike . but if it is the first bike you have ever rode you will end up hurting your self and maybe others around you.

2008 Yamaha Wr250X is a better bike to start on and it is street ready. KTM 450 is a good starter as well. In my biased opinion any supermoto bike is a good starter. Not a good choice for highway riding but a great twisty canyon bike.
