I would love to hear an actual argument point being brought up where it’s “worse” to start out on a smaller bike. Doesn’t even have to be a 250, can be a 500, CBR F2, F3, Suzuki GS 650 (twin). Even if you want a 600, please justify how a newer 600 and up is a better _learning_ platform. And right after please go climb Mount Everest without any prior experience… as long as you think about what you do and take it one step at a time, you will do great, you would get bored of smaller mountains wayyyy to quick. Don’t worry about it costing more either. ---

There are slow people riding sportbikes. Do you really think everyone riding is as good (according to you) as you are? You’d think the vid of the kid on 150cc passing people would speak for itself. ---

They race them for a reason. ---

I rode one with NO experience whatsoever, not even dirtbike. And im fine. Just gotta be smart Oh I’m sorry, I forgot we are dealing with a measily 600cc supersport. It’s only faster accelerating, top speed, cornering, braking a large amount of supercars… AND can fall over at any point in time. But of course a supercar to begin with is a great learning platform for people with no driving experience. > **I would love to hear an actual argument point being brought up where it’s “worse” to start out on a smaller bike.** **> Doesn’t even have to be a 250, can be a 500, CBR F2, F3, Suzuki GS 650 (twin).** > **Even if you want a 600, please justify how a newer 600 and up is a better _learning_ platform.** And why the hell NOT start out on a 'busa? If you’re going to be in control and have a level head, why stop at 600 or 1000, keep a good head and you will do fine on a 'busa. You will get bored of 600 quick. ---

Don’t worry about it costing more either. my only argument to getting a 600 over anything smaller is to grow into it…so you’re not buying new bike every year…thats it my first bike was a buel lighting x1…which is a 1200cc… ---
