GREENBIOCH said:Since I have tested it out and other bikes as well, I could see how some would say it is a heavier bike, hard to turn, etc. as compared to other crotch rockets. I am a big guy though, 6' 2" 225Lbs, I find it a perfect fit for my own body frame. I find other bikes to small, so as far as dropping it, I doubt it, as far as killing my self, possibly. If other professional/experienced types think I'm stupid for doing it, there just jealous cause I have a better bike.
And by testing it out I mean I have sat on them, not driven them.

What exactly are they jealous of... your bike that costs under 5K that they could go out and buy tomorrow?
What everybody has been saying is right- start small, it makes so much sense just to start small- if you do it right, you won't loose any money, and hopefully you won't die. Buy a 250 and ride for a while, then get a 600/650 and ride a while then move to the busa maybe- and when you get comfortable quit riding, period. And it is riding season, so you will be able to ride anytime.
But if you do get anything ... I'll be jealous, my parents won't let me.
