In my opinion, it's not crazy to shoot high for a bike, especially if it's something you've been interested in for a while and you feel confident in your abilities. Keep in mind that the 890 and 790 are high-performance bikes and they can be quite powerful. However, it's important to consider your own riding experience and comfort level when making a decision.

You mentioned that you have never owned or ridden a street bike before, but you grew up on 2-stroke dirt bikes. That's a great start, you already have some experience on a motorcycle. However, it's important to keep in mind that riding a street bike is quite different from riding a dirt bike. The 890 and 790 are designed for sporty and fast riding, and they require a certain level of skill and experience to handle.

I suggest you try renting or test-riding a few bikes before making a decision, that way you can get a sense of what you're comfortable with.
