See? But this is what always gets my "panties" in a twist...why was it okay for you to start on an 929 but every other new rider has to start on a 250? I've heard this so many times. Guys on forums that ride liter bikes that "advise" noobs to get a 250...it just blows my mind! The inherent arrogance! "It was alright for me to start on an 929 but YOU must start on a 250". What made you so exemplary that you could be "allowed" to forgo the "common" wisdom and consensus? You know,back to the OP,I'd much rather start on a smooth,stable 12R,rather than a twitchy,jerky 929!
