My coworker did tell me to get a Hayabusa instead of a ninja 250 and here is his reasoning: If you are going to die anyways, you might as well go out with a bang. Original Poster, once you get comfortable riding with your bike, why don't you take it to a few turns and show your zxr friend just how girly your bike really is? Then you can say hmmm you got beaten by a girl, so what does that make you?
I used to equate motorcycling with death and bad accidents. I think it's an attitude that pervades many societies.

I still think motorcycles are dangerous, I just think the danger is far over exaggerated and that you can make bikes quite safe by using intelligence.
