good post

But too much contradictory info
One guy says to get a low weight, low power first bike
Another says to get a bike that has enough power to last you a while

My suggestion, when buying a first bike, dont get in over your head on power, get something Cheap, so when you drop it, you wont be kickin your own ass. I guess it all comes down to what is more important to you. Either being a better safer rider or buying the newest fastest sportsbike to impress your friends, and pussyfoot it around.
