in reality... you could start out on a Turbo Busa and be fine... just all depends on 1. LUCK (though that just comes into play on how you hold up phyically... not what skill you gain) and 2. the rider.

The problem is most people who are looking into new bikes don't understand just how fast they accelerate and how they're gonna react. the natural reaction can be the exact one that will fuck you. example when your rear starts sliding in a corner... your mind imediatly says... close throttle... do that... and your gonna see what your bike looks like from 4' above it... as you'll probably high side.

we know you can't

Oh and wow that's a huge change in perspective for you buddy. If I remember right you slammed me for suggesting to a newbie he could handle a bigger bike if he kept his head on straight. Of course that was in another place and another time....

yeah 99% of the time someone asks I'll say start small because it's "safe" advice... and because going into what I did isn't worth the effort as they'll only see... "yes... start on a turbo busa."

as for slam'n ya... don't remember it... but probably did... we live and learn though...
