What are the reasons we tell noobs to not buy big bikes? What are they going to do?

Like you say, loop it, grab too much throttle, or brake. Isn't that what the BRC is all about? Basic motorcycle controls, like not grabbing way too much throttle or brakes?
All the teenage drivers in Camaros and Mustangs passed driver's education too, but guess how many of those cars die early with front end damage.

On your next commercial flight, do you want a guy that landed a couple simulated flights the previous weekend?

Proficiency can't be learned in a weekend. Yes, he'll be better off than someone that hasn't taken the course, but that's not saying much.
