There are a lot of kids out there that shouldn't be driving those kinds of machines and in the end they end up dead.

Only 1 person in the world can tell you that what kind of bike you can handle and that's you. If you think you're good enough to ride this kind of bike, then prove your parents wrong. If not, do the right thing and buy a bike with a lot less power. If you think you can handle a machine that can go from 0-60 in 3sec then I would defiantly buy a 600 supersport. If not, buy like a 500r or an old cruiser.
I AM responseable and mature to be able to ride a bike.. My family doesn't trust the people around me, not me.. So it's hard to make a case against that and show them that i won't die..
But i fig, right now just isn't the right time and place in my life for a street bike.. So perhaps getting a dirt bike will ease them into the world of bikes. So when i get one in a few years they won't be flabbergasted.
