Yet another newbie

Just don't get paranoid about it to the point where it affects your riding. Concentrate on avoiding all the other numpties on the roads, that's important.

That was exactly my point about having a new bike as a first bike and I am a bit nervous about dropping it. I am trying to take it slowly and I hope I won't have to find out On the good side, breaking it in at under 5000rpm doesn't offer too much power and gives me a bit of time to get used to it.

Welcome matey,
I done the same but only used my lambretta a bit before doing my das.
It does get easier the more miles you put on, i did go over the 5k rpm occasionally after about 200 miles mine seems fine.
I took things slow at first but getting better all the time.
Everyone on here is more than happy to help with any isues you may have, the org has been a good help for me anyhow.

Hey there fellow Pointy owner.

The SV is a great bike and the pillion seat is probably the most comfortable sports bike seat I have ever sat on, so grab the wife and take her for a spin when you feel ready to carry a Pillion. Also, it has special powers that us girlies just love. Trust me, she will want you to be going about 105 for most of the ride, but she may not be able to talk much when you get home...

Oh just one tip though, watch out for flies, they stick to your teeth when you are riding with that massive grin that SV's give you.
