Mr.X-----Altho;I am no expert;let me give you some advice;from my perspective.I have been riding for many years and;in my opinion;alot of people make the same mistake.They learn to ride and handle; a motorcycle;that is much smaller then they will be using everyday.It may be easier to handle but I have foundthat it is better to have your body and mind used to what you will be using.Don't forget-You usually only get one chance.Plus you have no protection!I may sound like an old man but I have been riding for over 42yrs.Sooner or later;you have to think of practicality not
just fun!I know many riders that are very good and race on dirt&ice but will not ride on the road.As they say;the other drivers
don't get hurt but you do! Irish
P.S.I will get off of my soapbox now.I'm just trying to help someone to not make the mistakes that I did.I've been riding since I was 15yrs and there were many of them.Of coarse;at 15;
you know everything!
