[QUOTE="s_x_i, post: 8967127, member: 47078"] Guys, my brother in law is 18 and a highschool senior. He rides a 250 Ninja, has less than 1,500 miles and 1 year of riding experience. He's put the bike down twice, but both times were in his first month. He's wanting a 2010 R6 or CBR600 and I'm afraid for him to have a bike with that much power his senior year. I'm not sure his dad understands just how fast 600's are. I'm not a rider, but I was 18 once and I know how kids, friends, peer pressure, a little showing off and not paying attention can end up. If I had a 10 second bike at 18, I would have been twisting the throttle to see how fast it would go. I feel that maybe if he was out of school, or had more miles or seat time under his belt that getting him a 600 would be ok, but I'm trying to be a voice of reason to the parents of a kid who has pretty much everything given to him. Please post your personal experiences - positive or negative as to whether or not him getting this bike given to him would be a good idea. I plan on showing his parents this thread and maybe it will help them to make an informed decision. I'm not trying to piss on his parade, but I have had two buddies get killed in the last 3 months on bikes and I happen to kinda like this kid. I really don't want to see him go the same way. So 600 CC bike for an inexperienced kid... Yes or No? [/QUOTE]
