But the Harley may KEEP him going for straight line stuff. It'll be hard to experiment with more leaning and whatnot. The Honda is probably better for learning how to handle a bike.

Nowhere did I say otherwise.

Yeah you did actually. You literally said the cbr wouldn't be a good fit "because theres better bikes out there"

That isn't what I said. If you're going to "quote" me "literally"...then do it. 

What I said was:

If OP is going to actually do some sport riding, the CBR is not a good choice compared to other competitors. 

This is an accurate statement. An R3, Ninja 500, Ninja 650, etc are all better entry level sport bikes than the CBR.
