As Uncle Bob stated, "twitchy" is the biggest concern I have with new riders.
"Twitchy" to me means'
Narrow power band, instead of it comming on gradually, it comes on strong and very quick. To use all the power correctly you will be needing to shift every 1,500 to 2,000 rpm or so to keep the max power range. Odds are you will never use all the power, That's not what you want to do when your concentrating on other things, like the road, handleing, turn signals, people, etc.
In everyday 50 - 60 mph traffic all you really need is about 10 hp crusing. A nice 30-40 hp or so, is more than enough to get a nice speeding ticket on the expressway.
Find a ride that has a wider power band so there is fewer suprises and more forgiving. There will be enough suprises the way it is, when your starting out.
