The old ones yes. The new 2013's are much better. I believe the saddle is 10mm lower and the clip-ons are 5mm higher. I've heard it really makes a big change by sitting "in" the bike more than "on" it.

So if he bought a clapped out used bike and dropped it, that'd be fine because it falls within your budget capabilities. But if he can afford to buy, drop, and replace a new bike and still get his bills paid, he's a dumbass. Ooooookay.

I'm almost certain he meant buying a brand new litre bike as a first bike as being a dumbass, not just the new bike thing....

No, he's a dumbass because he purchased a cycle that far exceeded his riding capabilities and experience.

The Triumph 675 may be too much too. His only saving grace on that is if he can short shift to stay out of the serious power.

I hope he doesn't ride faster than his guardian angel can fly.

Oh yeah, I forgot how much better a 600 handles AT A DEAD STOP! Bike capabilities had nothing to do with him scraping it up.

And Ranger's comment in the thread came right after him buying a new bike. If the comment was directed toward an earlier post, that's what the quote function is for (though his follow up comment pretty much negates your argument on his behalf).

Update:
My buddy is in the hospital. He is pretty tore up. Broken bones, and rash.
He was taking off from a stop, gave too much throttle, panicked and grabbed the front brake, but he was able to regain control. Then around the next curve at around 50 mph lost control and high sided. The Daytona is totaled. But he's alive to tell about it.

I have ridden the Daytona - that one is not for the faint of heart either...

Yep... he's a rich mfer, with money to burn. He's got a Tesla, a Ferrari and lives in Blackhawk.

Wish I could say I'm surprised. Hopefully he'll recover quick and actually learn something from it.
