I had a guy at a dealership recomend to my buddy a R1 saying that since he weighed roughly 400lbs he wouldn't be happy with the power of a 600. He bought a Katana 600 and wrecked it turning into a parking lot. Which sucked cause I was only 5minutes behind him and missed hte fun and excitement.
And I also watched a salesman sell a VTX1800 to some 50 year old woman who probably weighed after eating a 10lb cheeseburger 90lbs.
Which I don't care what a salesman sells to someone. If some 18 year old squid comes in saying "I want a hayabusa so I can wheelie at 180mph" I'll tell him to "sign here". But people do come in and say "I'm new to riding and looking for...". The least they can do is recomend something decent.
Which I love their favorite sales line when someone asks "How much difference is there between a 600 and a 1000". They don't want to say it's stupid powerful so instead they say "It's as powerful as you twist your wrist". Sorry fucker but sneezing on a R1 and flicking your wrist can cause you to loop out.
