Well if we take the idea of torque and apply it to a car there is definately a big difference between a four cylinder and a six.
The six definately will power up much quicker, but even so I would not discount this attribute to not being the correct choice for a new driver. In fact the little extra power boost seems a bit more safer to me in many traffic situations. Just get goin’ and get out the way.
I understand that more torque is more power so to speak. The G-Force is greater. However I still am wondering how much is too much for a beginner.
Back to the relationship of a more powerful car, I’ve ridden in a Porche 911. Didnt drive it but went along for the thrill ride. After experiencing the G-Force I felt pulling me back in the seat I definately wouldnt recommend it to a person learning how to drive a car, however I’ve also ridden and driven a Camero and again the giddy-up is very powerful, but I would definately recommend it as a first vehicle.
So again I’m at a stand-still on my thinking, because I’m wondering where the line of too much is to be drawn. I understand a throttle is not quite like an accelerator pedal in a car because hand reflexes are not the same as the foot. I am SO close to having my first motorcycle and it’s rather stressful. I will be taking the MSF in April and I’m sure it will enlighten me a lot more, but after completion it is going to be SO difficult to actually lay my money down on a machine knowing that if I dont listen to experienced riders advice, I could be in for a huge let-down.
