[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15911479, member: 181885"] I agree with that assessment- 250s have their place, and people with horrible self-discipline should start on one (just generalizing here- mean no offense to anyone by this). However, I think a 500-650 V-twin is fine for starting and help you develop a respect for throttle that a 250 just won't get you. Jumping from my SV650 to the Speed Triple 1050 was interesting. Man I miss that bike. I could lay down on the tank, bring the revs up to 7k, drop the clutch, and tear off like a rocket from a dead stop. For arguments sake, that bike is one of the fastest things you can sit on at "around town" speeds. Sure the 1000cc I4/V4s will leave it in dust at 1XX speeds, but nothing could touch that Speed Triple from a dig. ...and that's why I got rid of it. LOVED the bike. LOVED it. But I was going to get in trouble for the reasons I listed earlier in the thread. I started getting cocky. I never screwed around in traffic, or acted like the squid-tards out there wearing flip-flops on Hayabusas, but I felt like I was in more control than I actually was. THAT is the reason to start on a moderate to low-power bike. [/QUOTE]
