+1!!!!! Good observation. From what i have seen the majority that do come on here asking if they should buy a 'Busa as a first bike are "Usually",, and I say "usually" either a kid trying to just have something to say so they can get interaction. Or they are a troll.
But then again there are the ones that actually do come on here with legitimate questions and hopefully they get the answers they need,, whether it be what they want to hear or not.
I know when I first joined the forum here and I had already bought the "LC" I had several members put their opinion in that the purchase of the bike was not the best move on my part,, some said at least the one good thing about that bike was the lower center of gravity and it's road manners.
I will have to admit it has scared me at times and it is sometimes real intimidating in the twisties at times also. But I have and always will respect the bike and ride it with a level head. Advice is what people should give when asked and hopefully they will make a sound decision.
Then if they do go and buy the bigger bike hopefully they will be encouraged to ride sensible and with a level head as I was encouraged to do.
