update on my biking!

Hurrah! Well done on your progress MM, keep it up. You'l find the bigger bikes need a bit more strength to manouver about when you get to them, but the skills you are learning now will mean that you just re-calibrate yourself, as opposed to learning how to ride again (which is what happened to me - I wasnt prepared for how a big bike handles since i jumped from a scooter to the SV)

Keep it up! And get handlebar muffs or a bigger battery and heated grips to keep on going through the winter

well done, i went from a cbr125 to a sv 650 8 weeks ago after doing my restricted test. i find riding the sv far easier than the cbr125 and less scary , doing 65 70 on the cbr used to frighten me to death but now on the sv its a breeze feels like im doing 30mph.

I've ridden my sv for a few miles, but I've covered a **** ton of them on a yam YBR125 which feels so tiny, but at least it's easily u-turnable. Going from the SV even just round the block a few times to a 125 is a very strange feeling.

I have my retest on the 23rd, I failed the first one due to not cancelling my signal and a couple of missed blind spot checks.
