I think you would benefit greatly by taking an experienced rider course, if you can find one in your area. The MSF must have some courses in Oregon. On such a course, if done the same as here, you ride your own bike and hone your slow speed, counter steering and braking skills. You will quickly become more comfortable with your bike and its abilities in a safe environment. All the advice here is of no real use without hands on instruction to monitor your progress.Ive been riding a street bike for 16 years.my first one was a 750 Honda shadow, then a harley xl1200l,now ive a 2007 st 1300,wow! still getting used to it and not used to how a sport bike handles any advice?:biker:
Smart man! I'm sure you will learn a lot and have a lot of fun doing it.thanks ive got one scheduled for july...
Hopefully, as I suggested earlier in this thread, he WILL get to use his own bike on an experienced rider course, since getting the feel of his new ST is what he wants to achieve. Feedback from the OP on this?Riding a bike the is not yours and not worring about it allows you to reach new levels of skill.
That won't work with the Fuzz. BTDTIn the meantime, watch that speedo. I went from shadow 750 to this bike and looked down to see myself in triple digits when it felt like the shadow at 60.
