No. I am just push my toys. I started out with slow cars, and bikes. First bike was a Suzuki 250 upright. Next gsxr 600. Next GSXR1k (my fav). Next Busa. Next near death 30mph, got T-boned, gave up bikes till I retire and move to the country.

And no, I start out slow to take it easy too. Just push a little harder here, take a turn a bit faster there. It takes time to find great spots for stunts. Thankfully the spots stay at the same place and seldom change too much. So over the years I've collected enough locations to have fun without too much danger to others, and out of sight from the cops.

You can't really outrun Motorola on a car. Bike on the other hand.....lol.

Sorry for jacking the thread.

Point being, either X will be a lot of fun as long as you don't mind the maintenance. And if you do it yourself, you are ahead of the game.
