Marks Kawasaki ZRX1100 custom build project (intro)

This is the first episode of Marks Kawasaki ZRX1100 custom build project.
Mark has been talking about doing a custom bike for the last year after getting fully inspired at this years Bike Shed London 2018 show and has finally bit the bullet and bought an ZRX1100 ebay special. Problem is currently the Bike is a bit of a dog, it doesnt run, has been painted with a brush and has some funky electronics fitted...

We are going to be documenting the project from start to finish over the coming months and we cant wait to see what the end result is like! If you want to learn how to build a custom bike, this could be the series for you!

Stay tuned for more!

I was wondering how is this bike suited as first motorcycle taking in consideration it's 1100ccm after all ?
I passed my exams on hornet 599 here in Europe we call it Hornet 600 and I saw they are approximately same kw and hp.. 95-98 hp.
I am 32 years old and have no desire whatsoever to twist that throttle or break any speed records, would mainly use it as a city commuter.
That said I am 6.2 feet tall and I really REALLY like the looks of this motorcycle.
Would this be suicide choice for a first motorcycle?
