My Husband Thinks My Motorbike Is Too Powerful?

I'm currently having training for my direct access. I will be sitting my theory next month then I'm going straight in for my Mod 1:D
I have been riding motorbikes for 4 years (I've done my CBT twice) I taught my husband how to ride a geared bike after my first CBT. He then went in for his direct access but I haven't had time up until now, so he has spent many more hours on a bike than I have. So today we went out and bought me a bike for when I pass. I chose a Honda VTR 1000cc firestorm. I'm very happy and excited to ride this bike ( I had a little go on it) He is now saying that he thinks he has made a mistake letting me buy this bike as he thinks its too powerful for me and I won't be able to handle it. I know its a powerful bike and going from a 125cc to a 1000cc is a big jump but I'm a very careful rider. Is this fair that he doesn't want me to have it when a pass? He is now saying that he wants to get me a smaller 600cc?

Dirt bike transportation?

I have a 2005 Ford Explorer with a class 2 hitch that has a 1 1/4 receiver, and a Honda crf450R. I want to transport my bike but all hitch mounts for bikes are make for class 3 hitches with 2 inch receivers. I bought a 1 1/4 to 2 inch adapter, would the class 3 hitch work for me as long as I remember I can't carry as much as a class 3 hitch?

Beginner motor bike suggestions?

Hey I'm currently 16 (17 in a few months) and I'm planning on doing my CBT as soon as possible to be able to get my first bike. I'm roughly 6 1 (186cm ish) and roughly 242 lbs (109 kg). Planning on getting a Honda CBR 125 as I really like the look of the bike and have seen some good reviews for it. Any thoughts?

How much is a 1993 Honda CB 500 worth?

The fuel tank is a little bent, has some rust here and there fairly new wheels and new oil

Added (1). The bike is good overall except those small inconveniences

What underglow color would look best on my motorcycle?

Been considering underglow LED lights on my Honda VTX 1300 but unsure on what color would look best. My bike is a darker midnight blue color. It's something I may only use once or twice but I still like it so if your going to say don't do it then just don't respond. And let s just assume all colors are legal. But if you had a second option that would be awesome as well. (Yes I know it's a matter of opinion).

Which is better? Honda cbr 250 or ktm duke 390?

I can't decide between these two! Both are priced almost same! And both are great bikes!
i want to buy the bike which has:
1.decent mileage(30-35kmpl is fine).
2.more refined engine.
3.comfort.
4.great build quality
5.lesser maintenance.
6.lower servicing cost and decent resale value.

What is wrong with my Honda z50R?

I have had my dirt bike since I was a kid and I'm 19 now. It is a 50cc(well 49) with a 4 stroke and 3 speed 94 z50R 94 model. It never gave me trouble until earlier in the year. It would run very well then occasionally would give up at full throttle. This happened more and more and progressed to the point were I would turn it on and ANY gas would kill it. This happened over about a 2 weeks of 5-10 min rides. At this point it will only idle momentarily with full choke. I cleaned the spark plug with wd40 some of the time and it seemed to work briefly, but ended up doing the same thing. I totally took the carburetor off for about a month(as well as emptied the gas), but did nothing with it. So I put the carb back on yesterday, put the only gas we had(which was mix for the blower) in it, and it started up no problem. It astounded me, I was so happy. I ran it for about 5 min but after that it would just stop firing at full throttle. I can run it at about 70 or 80 percent. If I pick up enough speed I can open her up all the way, but it's just not the same. It will struggle and accualy try and slow down if I manage to go full throttle with already achieved speed. Keep in mined that it had no trouble opening all the way even from a dead stop 5 min before. What is up?
