Nice, but notice you admitted to the intelligence level needed. A good high chair is a demonstration of truly mad skills.

99% for a reason, it's not about pushing your limits. A gsxr 1000 can get out control really easy. Good luck and wear gear!

My first bike, pictured, was a 2000 zx6r. If I had left with a gix 1k I might not have made it home. I started riding in CA and people actually kind of look out for bikes. Little different story in TX! As Freak Accident pointed out a mistake is hard enough to recover from on a 600, a 1k is putting you on the ground. There are so many nice small bikes now. Get a used CBR500; ride the shit out of it for a year (or a month); sell it for what you paid for it and then get a gix 1k.
If you are in the DFW area I have a 2006 gsxr 600 I'll let you ride, you brake it you fix it. Liter bikes are fun to ride but I've always enjoyed riding the shit out of little bikes. BTW 250's are wheelie machines! Here is a nice no throttle hand ole school ninja 250 pic.
I made a living doing stunt shows for a couple of years. I had more fun riding track than I ever did "stuntin".
I know 99% are going to tell me to start with something smaller but I am not because I know myself and wont push the limits too far.
The course, required to obtain a MC endorsement or license, takes the place of the driving test at DPS.
I think you have it backwards.Has this changed recently? Several years ago I know that if you took the course and passed, all you had to do was go to DPS and get your endorsement. I took the class and waited a month or so before going to DPS. By that time legislation had passed where you not only needed the course but had to take the written and road test. Just curious
2013 marks the 50th year of my motorcycle riding. Nothing in my life has brought more pleasure than riding, touring, dirt riding, hill climbing or anything else that a MC will do. I don't remember a time that I was without a scooter and have owned about 30 bikes.

Well yes and no. Now you have to take the MSF course which is a driving skills and written test, then go to the DPS office and take another written test.

I agree the big bikes will shoot out from under you if you are not WELL versed.
Wait... so you can no longer take the driving portion at DPS? The safety course is the only way to get the endorsement?
