Poking thru what myself and others have been said, I didn't see where any of us were telling other people what to do. My understanding is that this was about people's recommendations, and I think everyone who has participated has made their case as to what they recommended one way or the other.

Will people listen? Some will, maybe, but definitely not all, and probably not most.

The title "Would you recommend a 600cc supersport to a noob?" and the ensuing poll is just that - a poll. I see people's reasoning for believing it's fine, and I have concurred that for SOME people it is - but not ALL, and not even MOST. So it's up to the potential rider, and I won't even call them a "rider" because a person without any experience is just a person on a motorcycle IMO - I was once one of them.

Fact is, everyone can stand to learn a thing or three about riding - even the most experienced riders will tell you that (unless they truly believe their shizz don't stink). The people who come here do so with the intention of learning and interacting with fellow riders, so all in all I'd say this thread was a success despite our passionate stances.
