How hard is it to ride a sport bike?

I have never ridden a motorcycle in my life and I do plan on going to a class to learn how. The first motorcycle I am getting is probably a sport bike because I have always wanted one. I want to know how difficult it is to ride one? If it is hard, then which kind of sport bike would be easier to learn on? Thanks, Hannah.

Easy to ride, difficult to ride fast. To ride fast you need to learn on a race track because you *will* fall regularly until you learn. Get a Ninja 250. When you do learn you will be lapping the posers on their four cylinder racing bikes.

Personally, I don't crash, don't want to crash, and thus I see no reason for getting a "sport" bike.
