Ok well the fact remains that i started on a 1000cc bike (it was a Ninja 1000R by the way

old school) it was nowhere close to the powerless sled an EX500 is so please offer a good point.

I wish you guys could sit down and realize that it is not the BIKE that will kill you, its irresponsibility, and doing things you shouldnt be doing on a bike that will. Having a bike with 150RWHP dont mean that you will go off readlights using it all up. Hell that # is @ ________RPM in a lab somewhere not off a redlight in traffic.....lighten up and remember, an EX500 can do 120mph or more depending....show me the difference between the 600RR going 120mph and the EX500 going 120mph?? is there any? i mean the guy in the EX500 is obviously a better smarter rider right?? i mean he does have the smaller bike so that makes him more responsible. dont it??

make a point that makes sense and you will get my attn, until then its all background noise on an otherwise good forum.
take it sleazy guys and remember, if you see an EX500...hes a responsible rider :rolleyes
