I like how you recommend the Daytona 675 as a starter bike and then post that you went down after locking up the front.
Moronic advice is putting it kindly.
No beginner should start out on the Daytona, and I don't care about the idiotic anecdotal stories about someone starting out on a supersport and doing okay. For every one person who manages to survive starting out on a supersport class, there are many more who do not.
It is not a beginner bike, and has absolutely no forgiveness if you fuck up.
Always start on a less powerful bike this way when if you panic and grab a handful of throttle you don't get high-sided off the bike. Learning throttle control is far easier on something like a Yamaha R3 or any other smaller class bike. Yes, you may outgrow the bike quickly depending on how much riding you do, but going out on a 600cc supersport that puts down 110RWHP, and runs a 1/4 mile in the 10 second range as a first bike is asking for a Darwin award. You wouldn't give a 10 second 1/4 mile car to someone who just got their driver's license, so the same applies to a bike since far more can go wrong.
Pro tip: If you're locking up your front wheel and going down you should either learn how to brake or stop riding bikes altogether.
