You just cant tell some people lol...

Cause you know, 80mph fall on a 250 is much safer and requires less gear than an 80mph fall on a crotch rocket. :rofl

Your friend sounds like a tool and I would love to road rash kick him if I see him on the street on my motard while yelling “cool bike… Bro”

Midthrust - Eric the point isnt that it cant be done - it can and is done often, the point is that it isn’t a good idea for many reasons. This kid clearly is a tool that is buying a bike to be seen and not ride and doesn’t fathom the dangers of riding. He’s the type to sell the bike after the first crash or even the type to sell it when somebody he knows dies on a bike because reality will finally set it that it can and does happen.
