+1 Volvi. 250 - 600 series or even 750 then a litre then a Bus.
Of course in the early days that the older generation of riders here were riding we didn't have access to these rockets the kids do now. If we could have would we have?
I did the Raliegh moped at 12yrs to a GT550, Kwack 1000, Kwack 1300 (Monolith) Kwack GPZ11s x 2 , FJ1100, FJ12, GSXR11 (96) and I'm on my third Busa.
Watching the young kids over at the Canberra Riders, they are having silly prangs on their little bikes and surviving. We have prangs on our Busas and people die.
One of my girl friends got off her GN250 onto the same GSXR11 that I had against a lot of advice from the then Suzuki List that we had on the net. She had a series of slow really silly prangs and was smart enough to get off it onto a 600 series Trumpet, which she still rides 10 years later and hasn't had a prang on it.
Inexperienced riders on these things have to be very very switched on to survive and smart enough to ride them with respect most of us have for them.
Max - off the soap box.
