You don't have to be racing people to easily fall into the category of "scraped off the road." Typically, it just takes a cocky squidlike attitude (experience is not factoring on purchasing decision) and some money (5-6K). Then you just have to get out there with all the stupid cages, not know how to handle what you've just bought, and bada bing bada boom! You're another statistic that should've started out on something older/smaller.

If you can't see the advantages from a safety perspective, at least understand that you WILL drop the bike, being it a new bike, and it'd be much more inexpensive to drop a naked SV650 than a Yamaha R1. Once you're done dropping bikes, then get yourself something nice.

And if you're not a beginner, then we can proceed with the discussion!
