I have a sport tourer 900 (at 934cc) that i feel totally confident on (though i admit i could handle a lot more effectively). Sure its a few years old and only 50cc under some bikes that have been classed as a litre bike. But i have yet to even TRY a zx10 or gix thou as for some reason i think with the massive changes in grunt from my bike to one of those i'd be shit scared i'd kill myself, or at least get pinged at double the speed limit.Benno wrote:I've been riding bikes on the road since I was 19 (27 now), and I would still say that I'm not confident riding a litre bike.

To put yourself at risk is one thing. But when that risk extends to other innocent parties, then I have an issue with it.
I really liked this bit.sly_papa wrote:And if some goon on the road hits me or anything its his moneyAnd ill just swap details with him/her and ride off...
Amen to that... I work in insurance and i hear this sooooooooo much about people riding bikes they aren't legally allowed to ride or cars they aren't legally allowed to drive. Insurance is void soon as u do this... No exceptions....Wattie wrote:you wont be insured. hope you dont crash into anyone.

I wasn't even in 3rd gear when I came off from a moron doing a uey. I have had two hand operations and 3 months in total off work since nov last year. So you don't need to be going fast to crash. It's not just you, it's the other imbeciles out there (why do they always drive white commodores too?) who you have to look out for.sly_papa wrote: And i wont crash cause i wont be going fast

i am only 22 and i had a 10, so dont hate me, i used to pump the subwoofer hard on the 10, and all the chicks would go wild.
