    I think like most others he's already made up his mind.Hopefully it'll scare the shit outta him the first time he rides it and he'll putt around for the next two years oblivious to the fact he'd go faster on a 600........
    Tell him what you really think,then at least you've tried to talk some sense into him.If you encourage him and it all goes pear shaped you'll feel like shit for a long time.
    There are always exceptions to the rules too,he may be lucky and be one of them,but with his attitude I doubt it.

    He should get the GSXR1000, as he's obviously a great rider. And he has a very small penis to compensate for. Tell him to go for it.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Meh.



    It's obviously just some inferiority complex or other mental condition. Just ignore it, and continue to feel sorry for him.
    ... and that's what I think.

    What is it with this pathetic "argument"?
    Are people who let fly with this missing out on something somewhere? Daddy didnt love you enough when you were a girl? what? what is it?

    Firestormer: Not attacking you specifically here. I just dont understand why people would say something so stupid.

    Ooh - did I use a rude word?

    Did I forget to include some smiley icon to indicate I was being sarcastic or whatever? :sneaky2:

    Never mind all that. You have to ask yourself why someone would feel the need to upgrade after a mere 6 months from a 250 to one of the more powerful production bikes on the market. It could well be compensation for an inferiority complex. Or it could well be that he has become such an expert rider that he is now ready for a 1000 cc machine. In light of his recent crash, I think not.

    Look - like it or not, there is a culture among bike riders where there is a not-so-subtle link between stature and bike size. Maybe Mr X has succumbed to the insidious pressure of this...

    Whatever...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Mmm, does this mean if you have a bigger bike but want to get a smaller one, that you are trying to com'penis'ate for have one that is too big
    Well I have been missing my little old GSXR250 and would love to have a CBR250RR

    Its automated. Y'see if you've got a big bike and an average penis, buying a small bike will enlarge it proportionally.

    I went from a 250 to a Gsx1100f. But that was because most of the 600's I could afford wallowed under my wieght or at least got some valve bounce pulling out in first......
    How this is different.
    A 89f has 105 ponies, not 180.
    I was very apprehensive about such a big bike.
    I am not a hoon anymore (I know this assumes he is).

    What I have to say in retrospect.

    Having such a big bike has held me back as far as learning goes as my confidence has not yet returned to where it was on the 250.
    Far from being on a faster bike I now have to swallow my pride and be happy with tail end charlie.
    I was faster on my old 250 because I was more confident and often found the limits of the bike before I found mine as a rider. Now I am the far outclassed by my bike and figure it will be a long time before I catch up to it. 3-4 years at least.

    See, size of the bike and lack of riding ability shows compensation.... it should be your riding style/the speed you are capable of doing a race track or certain roads which show the size of your balls......... (or ovaries since om very PC hehehe......)

    Fu*k that was good BB. Definitely quotiable.

    See there's another reason not to go to a bigger bike before your ready. It'll shrink you penis

    Unfortunately I don't think size of balls and riding ability are the same thing. You can be the most timid, weedy, pale, annoyingly whiny little guy around, and still get the best times around Pukekohe.

    Also, it takes enormous brass ones to do 110kph through lanes of stopped traffic.

    But the guy that gets impressive lap times around Puke is still the better rider.

    Of course, like all rules, there are exceptions that prove the rule.
    Here are some:
    1. You may need the power of a big bike to carry your equipment around
    2. You might be a troll (trolls don't like small bikes, as the squeaky sound they make makes them agitated).
    3. You might be VERY VERY fat, and have broken all the small bikes you've ever ridden.
    4. You might buy a bike bike because you find the vibration er... um... 'interesting'.
    5. Because you can.
    6. Because you're very ugly, and all the small bikes were too cute.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.
