    What worries me more then this is my neighbour considering trading his '06 HD Road King Custom for a '08 yam R1.

    e: All of the above

    The seductive power of the 4 valve motor will overcome any initial caution

    The mad Ducati grin will take over

    And he will need that fix again & again

    Unitil...

    He'll give himself a big brown trouser moment

    Quite possibly just at the moment he bins it

    The bike will then sit in the garage - possibly in "still-binned" condition

    Assuming that is, that the Gentlemen of the Constabulary don't get to him first...

    It's more dangerous going the other way. He'll be fine.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    He's got to actually ride the thing before he can wave at other bikes.

    if he rides he will crash, if he doesn't then the bike will seize.

    The RG150 actually goes pretty hard compared to most non-IL4 250s I've ridden. GSX250, etc seem like a barge in comparison. But my impression of how much power the RG makes may be influenced by the fact that it was the first motorcycle I had ridden.

    Who rightfully knows? Considering the bike, I'd just say Fookin neow!

    I think some people might be green with envy? I know Id loved to have that as my first ride. The guy has bought the riding gears to go with is so he is obviously aware of the risks.
    Also something else to ponder, Im sure he is educated, would need a good job to be able to fork out the coin for one of these. Who ever it is, enjoy the bike, the ride and laugh at everyones' bullshit comments here...
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
