Its all about the rider. I met a kid (20 years old) who lives in the same apartment complex as me who went out and bought an 07 R6 as his very first ride based soley on the bikes looks. He took the MSF course and bought full gear.
I've taken him out to some twisties a few times and told him to go at his own pace. Guess what, he does. He rides the bike with respect and doesn't push his limits. My point being that he has a smart head on his shoulders and even though he bought a monster knows not to push it.
On another note, how old of an ss are we talking here? My first (non dirt) bike was an 84 fj 600 that had been set up for racing, that thing was old but man would it get up and go once you wound that engine up.
