I started out with a “fast” car and i got used to it very quickly and learned fast. In the meanwhile ill drive around kids that started in a 65hp VW Thing. Google “Ricky Gadsen R6” 9.93 Sec E/T. It seems to me that something that you have to worry about balancing all the time and goes in the 1/4 mile then any production car ever made including the multi-million dollar machines is something that a person should learn on. So you’re still saying you would NEVER break the traction in the 800whp Corvette? Not even once if you tried hard enough? One time is all it takes on a bike for you to end your life. One time, one mistake, one loss of traction. I rode for 3 years on my SV and put 30K miles on it, rode the 636 for less then 1000 miles and came within a centimeter of losing my life. Not saying it’s true for everybody by any means, but it’s supporting my point. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/novice-bike-ninja-250r-input-comments/242115)._
