A few people I know weren't there yet when I left. Both had been riding for a couple years.
One, on a ZX6R, after riding with him one time I told him I refused to ride with him, but would help teach him... in the parking lot, so he could learn to turn/lean etc. He did agree and got better, but still dangerous on the street.
Another is a friend of a friend, put 1000 miles on a 250 ninja before picking up a FZ6. He dropped the FZ 3 blocks from the dealership on a sandy corner. Ever since then he's just been scared. Then again, he thinks I'm crazy the way I lean over the bike.
Both of those guys were probably between the 2 and 3.

that being said i am a lil surprised about how the buell leans compared to the rc, i have been on the actual side wall of the pp on the rc, but can only barely hit the absolute edge of the corsaIIIs on the buelll, i know alot has to do with the rim size difference, buts its still a surprise to this retard |
Remember that the Corsa and the PP have different profiles as well
When I replaced the tires first thing I did was to go out on the highway and weave back and forth in my lane to "scuff" the tires a bit. On the Corsa's, I had a good 1/8" or so of chicken strip. On the PP it was right to the edge, on the rears at least.
Just another thing to keep in mind.
