I missed my shift around a corner and it popped back into 1st gear when I let the clutch out, this locked the rear tire momentarily and down she went for her first 30 foot slide on the pavement. Its really didn’t hurt it very much, just took a strip of paint off the plastic.

no offense but this is why you shouldnt have a bigger bike for a starter bike..its very true any bike cna you in trouble but a big bike will do it faster and harder...on my 500 i dropped down too low but all it did was make the rear tire squirely and from that I learned, granted this person learned too but they learned harder....and anyone can ride a fast bike in a straight line....to see how someone rides go in the twisties...a good rider on a 250 ninja can beat the pants off of a decent r1 rider....ive seen it done...
