Yeah, there is a HUGE difference, but ya know what? I think that a dirt bike is a good place to learn to handle this kind of bike! I don't know how to explain it better, I know my boyfriend would be able to though! We belong to the Phoenix Sport Bike Club and if your husband wants to sign up, there is A LOT that can be learned from it! They're a bunch of GREAT people and many fabulous riders that compete on international levels in the sport. And then there's an even balance of people like us!

I'm yorkieK9trainer on that site and don't get to post often. PM me and I'll give you my boyfriends screen name and info. if/when your hubby wants to contact him or join up! It's much like a YT forum, only for sport bikes (like his GIXXER) and the people on there aren't just owners, they get out on the track or street daily.
I actually can't wait until Wednesday now! lol
