You can always re-gear a bike, put smaller rear sprocket on it to take out the lower end grunt outta your bigger bike, be easy on the throttle and remember, just cuz you watched biker boys doesnt mean you will ride like that after 3 months.

Ride within YOUR limits, not the people you are ridin with (common problem with most riders)
This is true, but it's a lot easier to get yourself in trouble (injured or dead) on a bigger bike. Much easier.
