Well, not to say I was a newbie but I started out on a 2001 Gsx-R 1000 off the showroom floor and trailered it to a parking lot where I was riding on one tire in 10 mins of launch... Had 3 1000's so far and no major injury (knock on my wood). I did have a long history of thrashing dirt bikes but still a nice bike to learn on the street in my opinion. I think its all up to just how in tuned you are with your suroundings and ability to adapt to change, IE old blue hair pulling out in frount of you.
I really hate it when I see so many people bitch about a young person getting a bike they have dreamed about for years.
Its all up how much info your brain can compute in a short amount of time and space...
Hate hate hate...
P.S. im currently building a 350 twin 2-stroke 125 chassis street bike that should be death for most 1000's in the curves...
