Well my friend wrote off his 600RR about a month ago.
Broke his foot and the peg went through his leg, not pretty at all.
Had to talk a guy out of buying his girlfriend a 600RR last night. He rides a 1000RR and she has yet to ride a bike, has only ever been a passenger. Asked him if he wanted her around for awhile and if he had got life insurance on her recently. He laughed and said she would "outgrow" a smaller bike too fast. So I turned to her and I said "don't get a 600RR as your first bike, get something smaller for the first season and go from there".
She had more sense then her boyfriend and said she wanted something smaller but he wasn't listening to her. Pisses me off cause he is making choices for her that could cost her life.
