Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Do you really think you are going to notice the little things that bother them so much that the bike explodes into a tremendous pile of POS?
The bike I want next they all complain that its so calm, and smooth and unexciting. Gee. If I sneeze the chances are better that it won't flip me over backwards, how dull.

+1000 to reading the stickies, please. They're full of reasonable, sensible advice for a first bike purchase. Being a newbie myself, I was severely tempted to go the 600cc supersport route, not really having a great deal of knowledge on the different classes of motorcycle available, and thinking a 600cc sportbike was a reasonable and safe choice.new rider 07 wrote:My son has never rode a bike before so safety is a big concern for me as far as he's concerned
I've never regretted eventually getting a middleweight standard. Much easier to learn on, less likely to get one in trouble, and versatile enough for all kinds of riding (touring, commuting, filtering through traffic, twisties, etc.)
