Just givin' you some grief, man, don't worry about it.
I've tend to find in my experiences, though, that riders that take their time and learn good fundamentals on a lighter, more manageable bike tend to be smoother, safer riders. It's odd that probably 90% of people I've met that started on a 600 or 750 stopped riding within probably two seasons...
I started on my 250 because it was cheap, got good mileage, I wasn't going to cry if it tipped over or got binned, and was "enough" for what I wanted to do. Now, I'm looking to track a bike more often, as well as do a bit more "recreational" riding. Thusly, I'm sort of looking at some sportier models to add to my stable.
Folks will always have their own gauges for what they're comfortable with, or what their needs are. It's not to say that a good rider couldn't start on a 600 or 750. Not at all. Just that due to the counter-intuitive nature of motorcycle riding, most seem to do better on a less sensitive and more forgiving one.
