> For some reason if you want to be cautious and start small when you are new to riding, race or track your so called “moped”, and/or crashed because you are racing for position on a race track, suddenly you are fucking idiot and a pussy; while riding on your liter bikes popping wheelie on public roads and go to donuts shop parking lot standing around next your bike doing fucking nothing is somehow perceived as cool and manly…

WHOA! I’ve never seen rocketpunch get pissed before, but his feelings are totally understandable. If Ilya made this post on any other fourm he would have been praised for the maturity in his decision. Personally if I had the money I’d buy a 250 or 300 right now.

Ilya join the [http://www.kawiforums.com/](http://www.kawiforums.com/) you will be better received people will help you on your way there. If you ever decide to check out tracks let me know I plan on going to NYST in the near future.  
Good luck man you will learn a lot on that bike, you will become a better rider & if you ever plan to sell it, it retains it’s value.
