ride on the tank, stay forward its very important to hold the bike down on the power band. be sure ur out of the power band be for u leave the lip of a jump or u will endo. practice feathering the clutch, u need this on a 4 stroke to but in order to get into the power on a 2 stroke quickly u need to feather it.

Why can't beginners have powerful bikes?
Billy Bob
I don't have a motorcycle nor am I thinking about getting one but I'm just curious: why does everyone say it's dangerous for beginners to ride a more powerful bike? Like I said never rode one so I'm clueless but my line of though is this: if I were given say a corvette at 16, it is absolutely no more dangerous than a honda civic AS LONG AS I take it nice and slow and never push it at all. Even if the rider has the mental maturity to never push the bike AT ALL beyond comfortable cruising, is it even then still more dangerous than a base bike? Throttle too touchy even when tapped or something?

There's a bit more that goes into riding a bike than a car. I'll try and hit the main points, but I"ll probably miss some.
Let's start with practicality. Most people will drop their bike. A bigger bike costs more, and weighs more. The bigger the bike, the more likely you'll drop it if you come to a wobbly stop. And with those big bikes (especially the sports bikes) a drop can get really expensive. The smaller bikes usually won't devalue tons, or cost huge repairs if bad things happen.
Second of all, realize that there's a difference between cruisers/standards and sports bikes. With the cruisers and standards, their power band tends to be a little bit more linear. That means that as you get on the throttle you can generally know what the response from the bike will be. Typically I'm much less nervous about a new person getting on a 750-900 cruiser than I would be a sports bike. On the sports bike, the power band is much less linear. That means that the throttle response is not the same throughout one gear. So you can hit the throttle, get a response and as you stay on it, the power can really kick in and you can end up doing a wheelie. Obviously smaller bikes respond less drastically so are much safer in this regards.
In all of this, what you're really talking about is learning the skills needed. Some people learn fast, some not so fast. However, when you have a 900 pound bike, and come to a wobbly stop, you're not going to keep it up. You need the skills to operate everything smoothly. This also applies to the turns (where most single vehicle accidents occur).
You want a small bike so that you can learn the muscle memory and to practice the techniques as safely as you can. Yes, I understand that it will be underpowered, but that's the whole point. You learn to push that small bike to its limits so that you can get the bigger bikes and know how to push them and what their limits are. If you don't do that, most people ride around thinking they know what they're doing, but never really learn what the limits are of their bikes (going fast in a straight line is not skill).
In the end, a first bike isn't your last bike. You buy it so you can learn, and make sure it's cheap so if you break it you don't quit (nothing like dropping a 16k bike on your first day). You build your skills and then move onto something new. It's not a matter of using your head, because things happen to fast to let your head rule. That's why you start as mild as you can so that your body will respond to the bad things. So yes, I'd say that even with all the common sense you have, and no matter how dexterous you are, you don't automatically have the good skills to ride a bike, and so it is more dangerous.
However, people will do what they want. I'm just sad to see people quit or get hurt because they didn't take good advice. I'd rather see people out there riding well, and enjoying it, but I don't have control over them.
