Guys,
The standard rule of thumb for a first bike always used to be "less than 400 lbs and less than 50 HP." I have to agree that something like an R1 as a first bike is a really bad idea, no matter how responsible an attitude someone might have. It takes a lot of skill and experience to ride a 600 sportbike well and considerably more for a liter bike.
I remember reading that a startling percentage of new sportbike purchasers never make it from the showroom to their home.
Just my two cents...
Rick F.
