    Eh, either way I'm sure he would've crashed. He didn't have the skill to use the bike properly.

    Yes, someone who buys an R1 for there first bike is an idiot! I am convinced that anyone who does that is more concerned with what other people think rather than what is best for their own personal safty and that indeed make you an idiot

    Alternatively, we could say that someone who buys an R1 for a first bike might be a perfectly intelligent person who made a bad decision.

    OK then, I think you are the first person to EVER think I cared what other people think!

    If thats the case i am an idiot,

    with an R1

    Also don't you think if i cared what other people thought, i maybe would have got the smaller bike. because everyone thinks you should start small and work your way up.

    yea i mean, i'm not gunna say EVERYONE that has ever had a liter bike for their first ride is an idiot....but 99% of the time i'm sure its true.

    my first bike was my R6...i did ok w/ it. i'm sure that can be done on an R1 as well...but theres no doubting the fact that starting small and working your way up is the intelligent way to go about it.
