Are kz550 a good starter bike?

I want to build my first cafe racer but know next to nothing about bikes. Very excited to learn a lot and end up with a cool bike at the end. While I know a kz550 can be converted it seems to not be as popular due to a higher front.My question is, is it better to avoid this as a first build and continue to look for something easier to convert? via /r/CafeRacers https://www.reddit.com/r/CafeRacers/comments/9r3pqm/are_kz550_a_good_starter_bike/?utm_source=ifttt
