This is so true - the bike is only as good or bad (within reason) as the person riding it (handling characteristics aside). The beauty of a larger bike is that you can have the best of both worlds. If you ride sensibly they can be "tame" but with the power there to be fun when the conditions allow.

Very true - and dont forget to wear it. You can tell a serious biker from an idiot/casual rider by the fact that they always wear their gear. Just go to a bike hang out for confirmation. You will always see the idiots in shorts and flip flops - but usually in A&E and not the Ace Cafe!
