please please PLEASE stop referring to how long youve been riding by months. how many miles you have under your belt is a lot more helpful. saying youve been riding 30 months sounds great, but if it was only for sunday rides across town it doesnt hold much weight. i started on a 250 and upgraded to a 600 after only 3 months, a lot of you would prolly give me dodo for that, saying it isnt long enough. but since i dont have a car it was my daily driver. i put 5000 miles on the 250 and it was more than enough to prepare me for my shiny new 2006 r6

like fighting... there will always be someone better after a while.
i mean there will be a better racer to beat and a better bike to master so the improvements are endless.

I did mention my miles!
Not to mention all the nasty conditions I've dealt with.
I'd say I'm probably more skilled than a lot of riders who have been doing it a year, but only do it recreationally.
I have a lot of improvement left to gain and every time I go out and ride it still feels like I'm picking up major skills, but I know that I have come a long way.

yeah, but that "bike" only goes straight.
they say it has about 500hp.
modded busa's can reach crazy amounts of horsepower. 500-550hp are common in drag racing and there's one vid saw dyno'ed at 700hp. that's nuts!

why are you even asking if you're so sure of yourself?
just go out and buy a literbike already.
