I try not to get too invested in engine size. It's an important factor in how the bike handles, but it's not the only one.
Like Crompsin, I'm really a cruiser guy and don't know a whole lot about sport bikes. I've been out on one, didn't like it, that was that.
Still, a little 250cc Ninja can make you just as dead as a 600cc Shadow can. I wouldn't want someone having a false sense of security, thinking that there's some sort of indefinable safety factor to a smaller bike that isn't really there.
Safe riding practices > engine size.
