well, at least the guy was smart enough to know when he was out of his league in the bike depertment. the last bike i had was a old honda 80 (at least i think it was an 80,not sure) when i was 10, well then 24 years later i got a kx 500. most people wouldn't do that but i like big power and i also like to arrive loaded for bear. maybe i'm just not that smart, but i have a ton of fun riding the K5. i think the key is to know your limits and try to stay within them but still be willing to push a little to keep advancing your riding skill.
p.s. i was playing with cars, engines and ATV's for those 24 years in between
