I wanted to do that for a while but then I always end up reading stories by people talking about how these young kids always end up with their brains splattered and shit when they get 1000's. I used to read a bike forum (can't remember the name), and they were saying that everyone should start on a 250 for their first season. Now that I figured was just playing on the safe side.
I see the assholes around campus whipping around on them. Some 300 pound or so fag almost drove right into the back of the shuttle bus one time. Was pretty funny to say the least.
dude there is nothing wrong with getting a 1000 as your first bike,as long as you have a good head on your shoulders.the speed and power of the bike isnt the issue either like people seem to think,it is the simple fact that 1000's are a bigger(and wider)bike so learning the corners takes a little longer.
like i said my first bike was a hayabusa,and with everything moderation is involved.so once i learned(really fucking quick)that the hayabusa wasnt a punk.that fear was set in,just take it to a big open parking lot and figure it out before you hit the road.
i am currently teaching another officer how to ride his first motorcycle,and it is a R1 and he is doing fine.
so what i am trying to say is stay out of the throttle(until you figure it out)and just learn the corners.
