The last time I called Diego was for a set of Type 3 Medium BT003's. His prices were almost too good to pass up but that tax.
My buddy bought his RS Taichi GMX Motion jacket from him and he discounted it a lot from retail.

I'd kill myself because riding something like that WELL requires much more athleticism and skill than I have or plan on developing. Sure, responsibility is on me, and responsibility for me means my vehicle runs out of ability before I run out of talent. Would you put a green rider on a literbike? Would you put someone who has only ridden Cruisers on a literbike? It's a lot easier to ride beyond your skill when your bike is so much more capable than your skill.
This is the same reason some people don't do certain drugs. Because they know they'd like them too much, too hard, and end up a little too dead.

Given that you already know how to ride a motorcycle gives you the advantage. You don't have to start off with a liter bike and I have many friends who took the MSF and never rode a bike in their life. They bought a used 650 twin and 600 as their first bike and are still riding today, some even racing.
I do agree that canyon carving and having access to canyons can lead to increase accidents but you can still ride w/out dragging your knee. It's all of a matter of experience and I believe you shouldn't limit yourself b/c all motorcycles are fun to ride. "Know your limits and ride within them"
