No offense Z, but I'm going to use this as the example of why I seem so pissed when it comes to this subject.................


I weigh in at 205-215 depending on the day, I ride a 4 year old CBR600F4, and the bike is MORE than enough for me and I've been riding for 12+ years!!!!!!!!

A "beginner" bike is just that; a bike for a BEGINNER!!!!!!!

Anyone with riding experience and a level head on their shoulders will know where I'm coming at the least; and most I'm sure hold the same opinion I do.

When you're on a vehicle that can put you on your ass in a heartbeat there's no reason to add fuel to the flame by getting an even BIGGER bike........

I'll use the car thing as an example again; when I have a son and he turns 16 and we get his license, the first car I ever put him behind the wheel of is NOT gonna be a VIPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would I do that? Would you do that to your son? I hope not. He would need to work his way up to that car.

So why reccomend this to someone else? When there are no air bags, seatbelts for any protection? It's two wheels and an engine!!!!!!
