buying a harley would be like buying a honda, heavy and slow....
im 19 and ive got a little cbr400 for now, there perfect for learning as you can lay them flat on there side and theres still more grip than you can imagine.
the 1000's are just insanely fast mate i definately wouldnt want to learn to ride on one but once you can ride and control the power theyve got they are simply awesome
