^really? you scrape toes when you ride?

people will tell you what bike to get as your first. you need to think about how much restraint you will be able to exercise. you can end up just as dead on a 250 as a 600. the throttle doesn’t twist itself.

you have to respect the fact that a motorcycle is essentially a motor with a seat on it and things can escalate quite quickly. you just need to keep in mind what your limitations are and ride at a comfortable pace for YOU.
