riding the bike outside your limits would be synomous with driving impaired.

even on a starter bike (250,500, whatever) it's easy to push past YOUR limits and get in to trouble. I agree you are less likely to get into trouble on a smaller bike but again, people start on 600's and have no issues. other people start on 250's and wreck them.

by your logic, you shouldn't ever upgrade because even going from a 250 to a 600, it's a whole new animal and you won't be ready. you may be more aware of what needs done but your reaction times still aren't going to be 600 level if you're coming off a 250.

again, i agree that the OP is good overall advice, but to say that starting on a 600 = instant disaster just isn't true.
