Noobs are discouraged from buying big bikes because 90% of them don't go for any kind of rider training. If you are trained in riding, you are no longer a noob.
Sarcasm much?

Seriously, when you walk out of the class, they tell you basically "Congrats... you're now qualified to go ride around in a parking lot." It's called the BRC for a reason -- it's a BEGINNER'S course. I don't know any instructor (and I know plenty of them ) who is egotistical enough to think they can prepare a newbie to ride a ZX12R in one weekend, not for lack of teaching skills, but because that's not what the curriculum is about.
