Reason I am being so tough is that YOU are the type of person who tells people like my friend getting that stupd ZX-10 with 1.5 months of riding experience, "yeah dude...it's a good bike...you'll be fine on it..uhhhh...don't worry that you haven't rode much...uhhh...it's all in the fear you have for the bike......

pfffffttt puhleeze!!!

HA HA HA OLD guys, I work nights from 5:00 pm to 3:00 am six days a week. No i would sugest anyone start on anything over a 600 unless it was an older bike with low hp. I think it is hard for you guys to believe that a young kid can handle bigger bike.

What is your "opion" on starting with a 600

Opion, what's that? You need a dictionary.

Now was that necessary. I am old. and been riding for 34 years of the 44 I have been alive.
At 20 you really could learn to listen. I have tolerance for most that want to start on what ever they want to start on. But your actions demonstrate a lack of maturity that will likely get you killed on your bike.

robbie, being completely serious here, and I expect a response to this.....if you aren't willing to hear answers that other people are giving, why did you make this thread in the first place?

Amen to that!

How do you define "with no problems" Robbie? Not crashing? Heck you can ride like my grandma on a bike for all I know, and I see that as a big problem. Fact = starting small will make one a better rider in a shorter period of time than anyone who goes out and buys the latest and greatest for their first bike. It just depends on what type of riding you're doing. Some people just commute to and from school which is nice... they don't have any problems. But when they face other riders who actually KNOW how to ride, then they'll realize why one should start small. No amount of text on the internet will make you realize the importance and skills learned from starting on a smaller displacement bike.

Wow so cool to work nights...oooo weeeee...pfftttt OMG how asinine is that???

Try coming back with something more intelligent than that--that was very weak! In fact try discussing things with a better attitude....you posed up your question--you wanted opinions but because the opinions do not match your line of thinking...again you have to resort to immature retorts.

You already had your 1st warning robbieace in the other thread.........
