Um, I do.

There is a reason new riders that jump on litre bikes die. It's because they aren't for new riders... just because you understand the main concept of riding enough to roll around on a 250 means nothing when you get on a 1000 because then it's not just knowing the main concept... everything is thrown into play.

Come on guys, I'm a new rider and I understand this... it's not a hard concept. I see both arguments, and yes you could just not give it much gas and ride a 1000...but eventually you're going to go down on it. That's why there are so many "starter bike" threads
