Forest,

I fail to see the correlation. A jumbo jet and a cessna are no where close to the differences in the following bikes:

1100 cc V-twin 500lbs
1800cc V-twin 700lbs
Vrod 700lbs

There is a throttle on these and if you can hold the bike up why buy a starter bike?

Guess I should have clarified, 3 years on the road 15 on dirt, I know they're not the same but if you learn throttle management it doesn't really matter what you ride.

dirt and road completely differnt

you have front and rear brakes

apply the front brakes incorretly and go over the bars

the rear slide or skid

people who have never ridden have no real experience with a hand throtle

another new experience

balance HUGE issue

speed and speed wabbles and if you loose a tire and being cut off and
ect ect ect

the pilot compaision was to show the amount of differnt things you need to learn between the 2

again its only your life...OR your lack there of if you are in an accident and loose all your faculties

Would you scuba dive 120ft BEFORE learning at 15?
