Guys I am 26 and been on my P's for 5 months. In November I can
upgrade to anything and I was thinking well I could get a 2007 Yamaha
R1. I like to think I am over the stupid stage of my life but I am
going from a cheap 250cc to a 1000cc anyway plus it is an R1. I mean I
will go dame this is quick first up but that is going to happen anyway
because I am going from a 250. Is this just crazy or is this upgrade
realistic provided I take it easy for a while. Let me know your
thoughts.

I bought a Ducati Monster 620 after recently coming off my P's. The 620 has less power then other sportier 600's. But in my opinion the Monster has more power...
... Yeah but I thought the same thing about the 250 I used to ride. "Gott in Himmel," I thought, "this has enough power to last me about forever" Eventually I...
