No you dont, unless you plan on killing yourself the first day out. You can get one someday, but not as your first bike. Sportbikes are dangerously fast, most people dont realize it and they hop on a big too fast for them and they learn the hard way. I learned to ride on a 94 250 ninja, then my first bike was a 88 ninja 600r. after that i bought a friends modded 91 ninja zx6d, once i was more than comofrtable on that, i got a 99 honda CBR600F4 that i bought totalled and rebuilt, that bike hauled ass. After riding my friends bike and having my '03 ninja for a while, i feel im finally ready to step up and get my bike faster. I would never recommend the work im doing to a beginner, nor would i even recommend my bike stock for a beginner. A week before i picked mine up at the dealer, a local kid put his down at 90mph because he was showing off and not thinking, he was reving it at a light, went to go and just gave way too much around a turn a dumped it. luckily his leg stayed attached even though the bone came out. Another friend of mine was going to fast around a bend and grabbed the brakes...big mistake, now he has metal pins in his leg and ankle(that kid was who i actually sold the 91 ninja too, so i felt sorta responsible). And then theres the guy who bought a liter bike on rt 46, never rode before and opulled out of the parkign lot..and went full speed into the middle divider, wrecking a $9k bike. Sorry i went on a tangent with all this but i see it way too often and those riders give all riders a bad name. Yes my bike will be insanely quick but it will be on the track and i will mess aroudn with it. I realize there always is soemthign to fear about bieks and you should never get over-confident. ill shut up now.... lol
