Wow you guys like getting ahead of yourselves over there, I have noticed that about this bike, most people are older with many many moons of experience behind them, which is probably a good thing. If I were to ever sell this bike (not like that will ever happen), there is no way I would sell it someone who is new to riding or only has a few years of experience behind them, that would be insanely irresponsible on my part.
Sad part is, here in Canada, at least in Ontario, a 16-year old can go and write their beginners test and obtain an M1 license and go out and get on a Rocket, Hyabusa, R1, BMW s1000RR, no questions asked, and there are salesmen who will gladly sell these bikes to these kids with absolutely no thought as to whether or not these kids could actually control these bikes.
There have been a few instances here now where people get the beginners license, do a course, hopefully, and get the biggest baddest bike they can, and are dead within one to two weeks.
I was in a shop a few years ago and a kid and his mom were looking at bike, kid wanted the R1, mom was cool with it (mom didn't have a clue what it was) salesman refused to sell it to him, kid came back with his dad, salesman still refused to sell it to him and explained why, they went somewhere else and got one, two weeks later the dad came back to the shop to apologize to the salesman for not listening to him, he was just on his way home from his kids funeral.
