Bennice..How do you think I could be angry at you bro. I was swamped today so sorry for late response. Cmon man... Do I seem shallow? I do not come off like that at all. It is a forum...I do not come here with hate. I come here for knowledge and to see what is going on with my fellow Kawi riders, and to help...Jukief did when I came here why should I not do the same?    Love my people! |
Glad to hear that the disagreement didn't rub you the wrong way. Are you shallow? I dunno about that, but one thing you said sticks out in my mind and makes me laugh. Remember this?

So I think I get your angle a bit better now. You're essentially saying that you recommend a newb that doesn't have the smarts enough to ride a 600 proficiently and safely should grow up and not ride at all until they do...right?
But do you acknowledge that not all sensible people that want to learn how to ride are capable of handling, and may not want to handle a 600cc supersport? Can you agree that none of us NEEDS that kind of power, but we definitely like to have it on tap?
My wife is long legged and strong, and is almost 6 months into learning how to ride on a 650. Had she tried to learn on my 6RR it would have been bad...VERY bad, and it probably would have scared her away from riding. That doesn't make her a squid or suggest lack of smarts on her part. It's just much more power than she needs, much too aggressive riding position, and intimidating to someone completely new to riding.
I still think you should borrow a 250 someday and let her rip thru the twisties a time or two.
