Depends.  Do you like your monster?

I dropped the first bike I was given to learn to ride-->  "Here's the clutch.  Here's the throttle.  Here's the shifter. Here are the brakes.  Good luck.  Off you go."  [roll]

Don't do it!
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

1st bike I bought, I barely new how to ride. I new the concept from driving a manual truck. Also, I practiced on floor models clutching and shifting. I suggest if you want to let him learn, you make sure he truely understands how to work everything. then take him to an empty parking lot. I let a buddy of mine practice in a parking lot and all was good until he stopped. Put his foot down on gravel and the bike fell over. I wasn't pissed, but I won't let him forgetit either.

+1.  If your friend truly wants to learn how to ride, he'll suck it up and invest in the MSF safety course.  [thumbsup]

Mal: "That it was manly and impulsive?"

Inara: "Yes, precisely. Only the exact phrase I used was 'don't'."

They offer courses on how to ride a motorcycle, including some advanced courses.

my monster is a 99 m 750 w/ a road racing tank

That tank is impossible to replace and will be the first thing to get damaged when he drops it.  You can't bondo a raw aluminum tank either.  Well you can but then you have to paint it and it won't look like a road race tank anymore.  At the very least get a dented tank off ebay and let me hold your road race tank while he rides it.
