a 250 to this guy will have no problem putting him on his ass. hell I weigh 255 and a 250 is more than capable of putting me on mine.

I know a guy who started on a Busa as well. He thought he could ride pretty well until he joined his first group ride through the mtns. It was a miracle he made it through. He ran off the road making simple turns onto side streets and in curves. He later had a few minor get offs that could of possibly happened on a lighter bike, but me personally I would rather rash and trash up a smaller, uglier and much cheaper bike than an expensive piece of art. Yea I know insurance, but I like to keep my rates on the cheap side and and I rather not waste hard earned money on preventable repairs.

On another note: Unlike the more expensive powerful bikes, the cheaper ones don't loose their value. So once prepared for more cc's it's easy to sell and highly possible you'll get what you paid for it. Even after it is crashed. Now crash a larger cc bike and see what you can sell it for......
