The most common line I have heard:
"If you'll respect the bike, you will be fine."
Bullcrap.

my dealer experience was totally different than anything you guys talk about. At least with the younger crowd, you dont go to a dealer and ask him questions and let me sell you a bike. you talk to buddies and you listen to your peers and they tell you the quirks of the different bikes and what they already know. The people i ride with all just talked to others about sportbikes and then went to dealer and bought it. It's not like a car where you need to be sold.
A bike is a toy and it's not "needed." Although I will thoroughly argue that, and so will most of you guys and girls!
I mean I knew what I wanted and I called up and he said he could get it. It's not a pressure thing.
EDIT: I mean toy as in something is not a primary mode of transportaion, so no flaming.
