It depends if you have ever rode, whether it be a quad or dirt bike, and how long you have been riding, because these bikes require years of experience, weather or not it would be a good bike for you. Judging by your mentality, i am going to assume that you are somebody that maybe has a small dirt bike....85 or 125 if any, and actually believes he is good on a bike. I can tell this because you obviously do not realize the responsibility of riding a dirt bike yet even thinking about a street bike, and first off everybody says this before they get the bike..."Well first off I'm very responsible, I am not going to be throttle happy".....and next if you knew anything you would have never said this...."(how can you drop it anyways?)".......and don't say that these people giving you these opinions on here are all adults, because I am your age 16, but i have a totally different mentality then you, and probably because I realize how much responsibility it requires to be smart while riding, that's why i am going to say it is a horrible idea to get this bike, and i am also guessing your parents are totally oblivious to what you are getting into. And another thing you should think about, is that IT'S NOT "IF" YOU WRECK, IT'S "WHEN" YOU WRECK....because everybody crashes sooner or later....just something to think about.......and if you must get your motorcycle license, then i say to get whatever your motorcycle school is going to use, because they will use a bike that is suitable for beginners like you.
