The characteristics of high risk motorcycle
  • streamlined fairing to improve aerodynamics, covering the sides of the engine, with a low windshield
  • a forward-leaning riding position
  • low, short handlebars
  • foot pegs placed higher up and farther back
  • a muffler placed at the rear and angled upward
  • two disc brakes in front and one disc brake in the back
  • a chain-driven rear wheel
  • a power-to-weight ratio of over 0.5 hp/kg
  • no center stand
  • an oversize frame
  • a raised passenger seat
The No Center Stand and Chain Driven Rear Wheel are strange ones for me.

What motorcycle can I beginner rider get?

A H-D Road Glide meets a lot of that criteria. That`s that,....the perfect beginner bike at 800+ pounds.

It doesn't need to have all of those characteristics to make the list. Those are just a shopping list for bureaucrats to point at when making arbitrary decisions. I haven't bothered to look at the full list of high-risk bikes. I assume, they are targeting RR bikes so low cc or most naked bikes don't get included.
