I don't understand this urge many 'experts' have to look at someone who's starting a new hobby (or in this case: mode of transport) and tell them to care about all of this stuff that doesn't matter. It'd be like someone asking advice on getting his first car and all of these people come in and tell him that you'd really want a boxer engine, and while you can get FWD, RWD or AWD is just superior. And you also really ought to get a turbo on it. Some people still prefer a supercharger, but those are just outdated, and modern antilag systems just make turbos superior in all ways.
