Priceless!
An advice that could have saved many riders and their 100 HP bikes. May it save future mistakes.

I'd say it's even worse on a bike. You'd probably have more room for error in a fast car.

While I agree with most of it I seriously take exception to the idea that a V-twin thou is in the same ballpark as a 600 I4.
Whoever wrote the final line of the V-twin 1000cc is an idiot or a Hardley rider. Quote:
Even with current 600s making similar bhp to the older V-twins the torque on a litre twin has surprised a few riders I know A single slip up on the throttle is always going to end badly, how many of us never botched our throttle control (even a little) while learning? roll off too sharply & you lock the rear, roll on too quickly & you have the bike on it's back wheel (or beyond) in an instant. Whatever about learning on a 600 supersport a V-twin thou is a recipe for disaster. Put a newbie or a squid on one of these & very soon it's a ruined bike & a dead rider. |

This is one of those things I would print out and store on my bike. So if a person who had never ridden before says they want a 600 or a 1000 I would give them this.
