Read my post above; yes, you learn the principles there, but let's face it - we've ALL done it (not loop it, but goosed it a bit too much or something). And yet it's our continued development as we ride more and more that hones those skills, IMO.

Sure the kid on the 12 who HAS taken the class might fare better than a total newb on a 600 who HASN'T, but that still doesn't mean the 12 is an appropriate "starter" bike.
