how about put more consideration in Killing people on the road rather than just hitting a merc or a ferrari? if he has the money he can solve the problem of making damage to other's properties, but if you kill someone, this is not what money can compensate, you're ass will be sitting in jial.

another thing, if you get on the road and you don't comply with the law, if you hit someone, you're f***ed, if someone hits you, you're still f***ed. because in both cases you're taking the full responsibility for any damage.

I have been through few bikes, started from a 150cc 2 stroker, then a CBR250RR, then a honda RVF 400 which was a heavy bustard. finally when I got rid off my P's I bought myself a $25k Aprilia 1000cc to celerbrate, I took it out for a ride at night on the day I bought it, I dropped it before I start the engine. Im saying this is trying to explain how shit happens, you need to be very careful and try to get used to the new stuff, bikes are not like cars, you can jump into any car and drive off with some adjustments with the seat and mirrors. bikes are different, every bikes has different charateristics from the basic stuff like weight, height, seating position, then power and suspension (hard and soft). any of these charateristics affects how you will handle it.

if your friend worries about loosing money, then he shouldn't spend his money on cars or bikes for fun, should have kept the money in the bank and earning interest everyday.

u forgot the tank shape and positioning as well ... =) the cockpit plays a huge role in whether the rider suits it or not

man i've nearly been killed on my 250 countless times but have been able to save it so far - and i'm learning heaps as i go

i have no doubt in my mind that if those same situations were to have happened to me on a 600 i would be dead or seriously injured.

IF you were at the same speed and same situation....why would a slightly bigger engine make a difference ?

Is it the handling aspect or the power aspect ?

hmmmm im selling my run around at the moment to buy a bike... but im looking at a cruiser rather than a sport bike... the way i see it it will be less temptation to drive it fast... looking at a few different Harley's and bike Honda's at the moment

say you went for the 600 not 250, does anyone know what would happen if you took a 600(not learner legal), to do the p's test?

would they let you do it, last time i went to the centre, 9/10 people there had a cb250, same as the l's bikes.

LOL .... I tell you a funny story, a guy came into do his Ls and parked his R1 outside and he happened to by fully sick to a off duty officer. The off duty called his mates to come by after the test and wait around the corner. As soon as the R1 took off , the guy ran to the gates and watched him get pulled over and have a laugh as they took his bike away

I went with 3 CBrs RRs and they all passed fine. They champ with the hired bike hit a chunk off the front and threw himself off and failed tho

i think its more that with the same twist of the throttle off the line i would be doing much higher speeds.

i've done stupid shit like blip the throttle too much or change gears around corners and if i did that on a bigger bike i reckon i would've kicked myself off

and lets not mention the bad timing with lane splitting incidents.

all in all, i'm pretty glad i went with a 250 first..

[TALEB TYRES]

well i just did my 1st day of the l's test yesterday, pretyy easy stuff just gotta pay attention its comon sense.

And yea they only let you do your p's test on a lams legal bike. so even if you buy a 600 like an r6 or gixxer make sure you can get something for the test.

Haha shoulda seen his face when i was asking that question...
