Re: Is ignorance the path to true riding enlightenment?(limiting skills by bike choice?)
My 125 was to fast for me when I passed my CBT.
My SV was to fast for me when I got it as my first big bike.
My GSXR is still to fast for me but now I know when I'm going to fast for my ability. I know that its daft and I know when to slow down and how to ride within my limits. I wouldnt have learnt all this if I had never bought the bikes that came before the GSXR. Also my throttle control is a lot better now on the GSXR than it was on the SV, as is my sensitivity with the brakes. I've noticed that when I go back to the SV I can really really wring its neck now in a way that I couldnt do before.
I'm of the train of mind that says, its better to have tried what you always want to ride and learnt to ride it better, than to never have tried it. Life's to short for what if's if you want a bigger bike go and buy one. Theres no such thing as "can't" or I'd get myself into trouble. Its rubbish, just remember your in control of the bike not the other way around and that the throttle works both ways.
