Don't boost it if you can't ride it! Maybe someone at the chop shop will hook you with a lesson.

Let me try to understand. This superbike will be your first bike?? I would strongly, really strongly suggest that you go take a class and start with a less powerful bike Dude!

Learning to ride a superbike on the internet is like learning how to have sex by looking at a national geographic magazine. In otherwords, you can't just look at the equipment and know how to use it.

Get some training or at least, a very good living will.

My thoughts exactly. Another thing, if you're thinking about getting a superbike as your first ride, start with something a little smaller until you know what you're doing. Those things can kill you real fast if you don't. Hell, they can even kill you if you do!

I started riding when I was 14. Honda Trail 70. Worked my way up.

Man, if you have to ask, you shouldn't be buying a motorcycle much less a superbike. If you do, I hope your cataracts, kidneys, and liver will enjoy their new homes.

Seriously, get some training.

...nearly in the same league as "Hey, anyone know how to fly and
land the plane?"

I've been riding, a lot, since I was 14, for 45 years...no xpert here, and I do ride with
some near pro track riders, (well, "with" is an exaggeration!).

My advice, if you have to ask a question like that, is don't.
