I always encourage new riders to start out on a scooter. It can be a little overwhelming to be a new rider and being comfortable in traffic trying to learn all the controls of a manual motorcycle. Imagine sitting on a motorcycle in traffic on a hill and stalling the bike trying to take off. I believe it's better to get them comfortable in traffic on a twist and go first then once they're used to being surrounded by traffic switch over to a motorcycle if they want. Just my .02
BTW: My daily driver is a scooter (2010 Honda SH150i). Sitting in stop and go traffic on a hot day isn't something I want to be doing on my CB. On a scooter with the engine behind you there's no engine heat making you miserable when sitting in traffic not to mention working the clutch non-stop crawling between stop lights.
