I currently own both a CB1100 and a ZRX1200. Both are excellent bikes.
But I am firmly in the camp that both are also too much bike for a beginner.
Honestly you can hurt yourself on anything, even a SV650 can wheelie when provoked without much issue.
Start smaller, cheaper, lighter, safer. Enjoy the ride itself, don't focus on power or acceleration. You will be too busy focusing on cars and deer.
