Hello All,
I'm 19, male, and contrary to the majority of people my age I do not go triple digits on regular streets, do stoppies or stunts of any sort. However I do enjoy twisties.
Getting to the point as of right now I have 1 season of riding experience and I ride my older brothers 2007 Suzuki GSX 750F (Katana) on a regular basis. Next summer I will have the money to purchase my own bike and since my sister and my older brother are upgrading to bigger bikes I was considering purchasing a 2008 FZ1. Mainly due to the higher power than the katana and similar weight. But considering the limited amount of capital I have once I purchase a bike I won't have money to upgrade to a bigger bike when I am ready. Although purchasing a 998cc bike after 1 riding season seems stupid it is my opinion that as long as you have clutch control and don't ride beyond your limits you should be fine.
what is everyones opinion / recommendation on this?
Also are there many electronic issues that happen since the 2006 FZ1 came out that I should be worried about?
