Ah, I get what you are saying. You are right that experienced riders can forget how difficult it can be starting out. On the other hand you get plenty of folks telling how they started on gixxers and anything less is for pussies. It comes down to trusting the reviewer, or at least getting a feel for what they like/dislike and how it matches with your own tastes. But since the bike manufacturers are not lining up to give Ben their latest creations (shame on them) we are stuck the opinions of actual owners.
