Default A little rant...

On one of the other forums I am frequently on, a member asked R6 vs Gsxr 600 for a beginner. So of couse we all suggested neither for a beginner bike. And listed other options... 250/500 ninja's, even Katana 600 or so, Ninja 650R/Sv650. So of course there are those people who would flame you for suggesting such things. People who start on something that is too big for their skill levels are going to get hurt/killed, hurt or kill someone else ( Worst case of course ) Or drop tons of cash on rebuilding/repairing. Then in long term our insurance goes up! WTH!!!! lol Sorry, just find it irritating, Most people ask on a forum for opinions and advice. They are going to do what they want reguardless but is the flaming neccessary??? It wasn't anyone on here. Just thought I would share the fun..


Now back to your regularly scheduled forum. Thank you.
