Nope, no ego here. Wanting to look good and acting like a punk are two different things. In fact, I resent ego behaviors especially from drivers who drive the same cars as me. And that's why I never do the immature burnouts and the quick bursts of acceleration. Ego behaviors also waste gas. Definitely not the way to go.
I would say you could take it as often as you like. In my area they are $25 a pop but do provide a motorcycle. They also advanced classes. I don't think you will get it that cheap in New Jersey but... Check out THIS site for some more info.Thanks for the info on the rider safety course. I hope the instructors are as great here in New Jersey. How often can you take it?I have no idea why people post BS like this.. Not to sound like an A$$ but I do seem to see a few riders on this forum this year "making spare parts" that have riden for years and years. When they go down I don't see people throwing up that garbage or posting some damn grim reaper in their posts. Why not show the same respect to new people no matter what your opinion is?
I would think a simple "IMHO I would not buy a hayabusa as a 1st bike" then list some reasons would more than get your point accross without sounding like a complete A$$hat to a potential new member.
Having said that my take is...
1.) I just got done AGAIN taking the rider safety course. It is kind of hard not to pass even if you have never even seen a bike before. Well the class I took with 2 buddies that is. Ohio now has a mobil unit with bikes and everything. The instructers are great and you should really try to listen to everything they tell ya. It might save your life down the road.
2.) GET GEAR. You can't control what you do 100% of the time let alone somebody in the car next to ya.
3.) If you do what you posted above, I would think a Hayabusa would be fine. IMHO I would judge this decision more on the riders mental capacity than the bike he/she is riding. The bike needs respect just like ANY sportbike. If you don't show it respect it will bite you for it.
But that is just my opinion, I could be wrong....
No ego, yeaaaah
lol and you think a picture of a Grim Reaper is going to scare a grown man into not buying a bike? The guy is not in pre-school for christ sakes.how many fatal bike wrecks have you been around? How many friends have you put in the ground... how many years of riding do you have?I have no idea why people post BS like this..

I could give a flying crap about being PC when it comes to guys getting in way over their head and no one has the ballz to tell them they are making a mistake and what they are doing is allowing their nutbag to determine the bike they ride...
In my rather un-scientific studies, I am finding more and more of the crashes are by guys with little experience on lesser bikes...
So theres your BS reason... bloody road ways gross me out....
back to your ego stroking...

I have seen people go down 1st hand, I have personally seen a friend (who rode bikes his whole life) hit a guard rail and I had to call his wife and family to let them know he was lost.
It seems that there are more people who think this guy should buy the bike then don't at this point. But for future ref...
If you are new to this forum and never rode a bike. PLEASE for the love of God do not ask if you should buy a Hayabusa. Ask something about tires, Nitro vs Turbo, gas grades, brakes, spark plugs, or anything other than this...
I would rather see a thread about oil choice. These will always get the exact same response. 
last I heard he broke his mirror somehow?

Well I really didn't want to get into this but heres what I think about that. What I learned at the MSF class was that all bikes ride the same. Meaning, the concept of riding the bike is basically the same whether its 1300 or a 600. The only difference really is the weight (and some other minor things). So if you ride with these guys that 'show' that the busa is their first bike, then maybe they just flat out don't know how to ride? Try pointing them to a near by MSF class.Mr Bogus @ May 30 2008 said:
I learned a lot about street riding, with my first bike, mostly by reading any books or magazine articles I could get my hands on. Of course that is all much easier now with the web (yeah, I've been at this for a long time).
