not at all , you said that a learner must have something that handles well, I was just proving your point was incorrect.

my point was if you want to do silly speeds you can do that on ANY bike, you could seriously hurt yourself on a postie bike ffs.
I totally agree with you on that one , thats why its so important to have decent gear no matter what you ride.



Also someone made a comment on insurance, yes being on your L's or P's or under 25 can be a bit pricey but after that sportsbikes can be quite reasonable. I pay $276 for full comprehensive cover for my ZZR 600 and I have a mate that has a new GSXR1000 and only pays $970 per year and he is only 30 years old, and another mate on an 03 R6 paying $590.

Its just a matter of finding out where the good insurance players are. Also that cover we have is one of the most feature packed policies there is in NSW. I know, cos I have checked them out.
