Is there no way a Ducati 898 could be a starter bike?

If I have never owned a motorcyle before but I feel like I am strong enough to handle the weight of a 898 cycle my first time, can I handle this much speed and performance on my first ever motorcycle?
 
I would have to disagree with the throttle working the same on any size bike. So far I've ridden 250s, a 500 and a 900 and I assure you, the same twist of the throttle on a 250 isn't the same as on the 900. In fact, there's a huge difference between a 250 and a 500.

Not saying you can't learn on an 898, but I'd highly advise at least taking the MSF Basic RiderCourse first. Good luck!
 
I'm a little confused as to why, never having owned a motorcycle, you feel like you could handle one of these. Read the links below - all the way through. My only other comment is that you don't even know how much you need to learn yet.
