i didnt read anything past the first paragraph in your post and will just say youre overthinking the hell out of this.
The sv650 is generally heralded as a great beginner bike as well as the small ninja models for the very fact that theyre not inline 4 bikes. The twin engines make less power but a very useable amount of torque at low rpms. As a new rider its hard to learn anything about winding a bike at 11k rpms around a corner, and youre a lot more likely to make a mistake in that scenario.
The basic idea is to learn how to ride before wrapping your legs around something that is basically a race bike for the street. I bought an I4 bike as my first bike, and did things that in retrospect i'm beyond lucky i didnt lowside doing.
As a brand new rider you have no concept of body positioning or how youre loading the rear tire specifically, and on a supersport bike its easy to get into shit in a hurry.
I can honestly say that if i were to go back i'd probably get an SV with full fairings and sliders, and go to a couple of track days (preferably race schools) and learn how to ride a bike.
It's taken me low siding twice at the track on my 600 as to how i can, and sometimes cant load the back tire on my kawi, and its a difficult way to learn how to ride.
