The equivalent argument is that a Porsche has a different feel than a Focus. It's still better to learn how to drive on the streets in a Focus. Skills learned will transfer to the Porsche if and when you get one. A GTI is somewhere in between. A Ninja 250 is faster than the Focus, maybe on par with the GTI, but wouldn't keep up for long with the Porsche. A 600ss bike in the hands of a good rider will keep up with most Porsches on the drag strip or on a road course. A 600ss bike in the hands of an unskilled rider will take him from 0 to 60 in about 3 seconds and 0 to dead in less than 6 seconds.
