^ more ignorance, but that is ok. How is he going to be able to keep the front wheel down when he has no knowledge of how the bike reacts to given inputs and especially if he makes a mistake?

Just because 1 person started on a 900 doesn't mean everyone can. I am willing to say that a person who starts on a 250 will be a better rider overall than 1 who starts on a 900.

I am not going to argue this to death because in my experience and just about every other sportbike forum recommends is the same when it comes to new riders and what type bike they should be on for a beginner. It is their ass that is going down not mine, so I just laugh.
