i was scared like a little girl at first when i got it bc of the power it has. My 04 750 was my first motorcycle i have ever ridden, and never had any issues. I'm pretty used to the busa now and lovin it, just learned to ride within my own capabilities and don't try anything stupid and i'm fine. One of these days i'll get that front wheel up in the air, i just don't feel comfortable doing wheelies. I always think the first time i try to do it i will be eating pavement
