tell you the truth, matt doesnt seem like the typical kid. he "seem more responsible. at his age, a streetbike would have killed me. my mom decided to keep it safe and buy us honda three wheelers and dirtbikes. only thing safer was that we crashed into mountians not other cars. not her best mom moment.

when i went off to college at USF, parking was not to be had, so i picked up a honda 500 interceptor in texas. had it shipped to hayward/newark. met the bike, and had my first freeway experience riding down california highways. i was puckered, but hooked. i got into bikes big time. i dont understand how anyone can say a sportbike is difficult to handle or too much motorcycle. like all vehicles they have throttles. a cruiser with the poor handling can throttle you into a wall just as fast. matt, if you are responsible, and careful you can own any bike you want. just remember insurance rates skyrocket with the sportbikes, and that is not good.
