In Massachusetts all you have to do is pass the permit test (get 12 of 18 questions right or something like that) then youre legal to ride anything for the 2 years it’s valid. Only restriction is no out of state or night riding.

I was a busa rider on a permit at 20

You're obviously the exception as you are still alive....

Take a look at many of your peers at 20 and ask yourself if they should be on a bike like that.

I can say when I was 20 (many years ago), I wouldn't want most of my peers on a bike like that as they were generally pretty wild and didn't respect speed.

I tell a lot of my friends that don’t have bikes yet but have riding experience to get a bike.

But I also make it clear what even a 600 is capable of. But everyone reads that you need a 1000... and some experienced riders try to say that you need that torque.

Most of us can't ride a 600 to it's potential, and certainly not on the street. Nobody needs a 1k as a street bike. They're like us, none of us needs a Busa as a street bike, even the big cats like me could ride something else, we just like em. A lot!
I've heard it from countless older riders and it's true, if bikes like these had existed 30 years ago, I wouldn't anymore!

If that were tried here, people would complain about infringement of rights. The truth is that sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves. This country seems to have a huge problem not understanding that just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Due to the high number of riders killed or injured in crashes , the cc rating has been there since the 70's. Plus our rego system here is very high too , I pay $528 A year and over $350 of that is the A.C.C. component, that's a state run insurance company that pays for all rehab you get. Even though it may not be our fault we pay more than cars.it does not cover bike repairing/ replacement. That is done through your own insurance companies

Driving is a privilege not a right. I have been reminded a few times in my life.

As too here in New Zealand

ME TOO!.

Fyi...it is Really hard to ride wheelies on scooters...seriously.
Anything with a centrifigal clutch requires Perfect balance. There is no throttle adjustment to help, as if you let off for only a split second, the front falls, too long, and over you go.
I've been trying to perfect it for years.
But, after busting my ass several times, and my buddies risking a stroke from hysterical laughter, I usually call it a day after a dozen tries or so, lol.

it is difficult unless you are young and live in Tavulia then it is as natural as breathing.

I just like how smooth it transitions through the gear and the ride quality compared to the ZX10-RR. My busa didn't wanna kill me like the zx10rr does.

Sad...
I had an accident when I was 21 (not my fault) but learned a lot more lessons from close calls over the years...
Also started out on smaller bikes.
