No kidding. I'm a RiderCoach here in Texas and am amazed at the number of people that take the BRC and then run out and buy an R1 or a VTX1800. It's always a hoot watching them take a corner. Don't people know what a beginner's bike is for. I try to get them to purchase a 250 Nighthawk or Rebel and spend 6 months learning how to really ride before something bigger but it doesn't work.
