I've been talking to a guy at work. He's had this daft idea that he wants to get a bike.
He drives trains for a living, and sees that driving at 125mph day in day out is enough training to get an R6. This is the guy who has never even RIDEN a bike, scooter moped or anything with 2 wheels.
I've talked him out of that, I offered to take whatever he decides on for a test ride, but he's bought a 600 something. He did say what, but I've forgotten. OK it's better than an R6 but he hasn't even booked his access course. Nope, still hasn't riden a bike....
Those who know me will say I'm being hypocritical, as I picked up the 03 America on the day I passed my test, but I rode a 125 for over a year before getting it.
The bloke on the R1 sounds like he's done what my mate at work was going to. He just didn't have a sensible mate to talk him out of it...
