rofl that's the dumbest fucking thing i've ever heard in my life with regard to riding, dude. "i have respect for bikes but if you never move beyond a 750 your not a real man." whatever. get the fuck out of here with that line of thinking and take your slammed dogshit katana with you. you've heard from a hundred people here that you're not ready and you, as a barely-legal-to-drink wal-mart employee figure that YOU, of all people, know better, because you used to toy around with a CRF100 in the trees? YOU, the guy who was about to buy a liter bike with NO FRONT BRAKES? lmao I have questionable choices in my rides but at least i'm not mentally incapable of humility.
