You think that rider aids that will reduce your risk of crashing, is going to increase your risk of crashing??

I feel like the biggest reason is to get something without traction control and less power so I can safely find the limit.
Why not TC?
Get it out of your head that you’ll reach the limit of any bike. Even if you can, unless you’re on the track, don’t try to.
Never ride 100% or find the ‘limit’ of the bike, because you might not be able to come back from said limit.Nothing wrong with TC or electronics. I find it an odd cognitive bias when people disregard safety measures. Why not drive without a seatbelt?
If you’re riding for fun, get the electronics, ride in peace on sketchy country roads. if you’re gonna ride on track, turn them off and go fucking ham.

By the by, I don’t know about the Thruxton but the other 3 bikes are very fast, very very fast and lunacy. I’d want a lot more hours in before getting an MT10 or S1000RR. Striples are a total frigging gas too - light as well as fast.

That's the part I'm stuck on. A giant new bike with traction control is probably a bad way to learn.
