Hi and welcome from another lurker. You honestly couldn't have picked a more capable bike for 'just after your test'. Easy to look after, quick enough and predicatble handling. You will have a hoot.

Good luck with your test. If like me you have a few nerves then just remember if you do make a little mistake the examiner may also judge how you put things right. I had it in my head we were going to turn left at a particular junction. "Right at the lights at the next junction" came through my headset. So I indicated left and moved to the left filter "Right at the lights at the next junction please" again. Then my head clicked, I immediately did a lifesaver look while switching my indicators to right made sure the lane was clear and moved over. Best day of my life up to then when he said I'd passed and nice safe recovery

I'm sure others on here have similar tales - hope all goes well!

Chris
