I'm with jobirobi on it being a bit cumbersome if you cannot flat-foot at stops.
If you can get past that part okay, it's a good handling bike with great power characteristics for a beginner (lots of low-end, not easy to stall torque).
Depending upon your build and finances, a MT-03 or MT-07 might make a better 1st choice with less of an inclination to quickly outgrow the MT-07.
