Look at it this way most riders get into trouble with a car turning left in front of them. So you can either go left, maybe or right maybe, or stop. What bike would you want to be on in this instance at say 45 MPH?
Does your xr1200 handle so fucking good that you can go left or right, are your brakes so good and your training and experience so good that you could stop? Or are you old school and would just lay it down?
If a new rider is on oh say a CBR500 the odds go way up as all three options are looking better.

when did i suggest putting a new rider on a dyna or xr? because I didn't. What id did do is suggest getting a bike after taking the beginner course.
you blew off H-d saying they don't handle but will get a "cool bike" comment at a stoplight. that's incorrect and the video proofs that, those bikes are being handled at realistic street speeds and precision competitions were designed around that- street skills.
Look, if you want to think h-d are what you think they are that's fine, but let's not go around spreading that opinion as fact when it's not. it's an opinion and one many millions of people have proven wrong.
