It has a lot to do with maturity and having a level head as well. Your mom may ride a Busa but never really push it and be fine...which some will say is a waste but I say...to each their own and it's her choice and money.

No I wouldn't suggest it but again...to each their own.
Very well put. Having started on large street bikes myself I hate to hear people say it cant be done. It isn't hard to ride a busa. It isn't hard to ride it slow either. But Would I like the idea of MY Mom getting one? Probably not. But I would do everything i can to expose the dangers and pitfalls. Outside of that it is Her Choice. Simple as that. And some people will do things just out of spite if you tell them they can't.

Shit I started on a ZX7R...I went Down the First Time I got on the Bitch, But I learned my lesson Fixed it and Rode the Piss out of it after that little Mishap.

And they Say you shouldnt start out on 600's :)

you know anyone with a 250 or a 500? see if they'll allow her to ride it... she'll see the light.

Yeah, I have a coworker that has a 250. I think she'd be better off busting up a MSF bike instead, though.

well I mean after the MSF course... so she can see that even a 250 will accelerate quickly and be fun

If he still has it by then. He's talking about stepping up next season.
