You mean quicker acceleration to the speed limit? I was not aware we were balling outrageous on our bikes everywhere.

I'm pretty sure he was just stating he understands what you're saying. Plus saying "you'll probably have more problems with something thats old compared to something thats new"... is kinda a "no duh" statement.

Re: Buying a bike and need some input.
[QUOTE=T226;4261805]I mean no insult by this but, having rode a motocross bike has really nothing in common with a sportsbike minus the fact that both have an engine and two wheels. They are two COMPLETLY different things.
Actually, there are alot of techniques from Motorcross racing that you apply in road racing...... Main one being counter steering. So you are wrong in your statement........ most people that have riden dirtbikes or have done any motorcross racing will pick up on riding a street bike faster than someone who hasnt!
