tryme Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Would this be considered a good bike for learning/training on for your das and sitting mod 1 and 2. Its what I've been using and I find its quite a heavy bike. Only other bike I've ridden was a ybr125 for my cbt and I found it a piece of cakeMaybe it's because I'm a new rider and haven't been on a bike for so long. Maybe it's top heavy I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigralphie Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It will feel heavy after your 125 but you will soon adapt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryme Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I hope so. Part of me just feels like this isn't the bike for me. Once I've passed mod 2 I don't think I'll ride one ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You'll get used to the weight after awhile. If you're anxious about dropping it, by using the proper technique you'll probably manage to lift it without help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 i have to be honest i have dropped it. it has knocked me for 6 If you had a problem standing the bike up after dropping it, get together with an experienced rider to review the procedure with you.The technique I learned works for me, but it's a little hard to describe, and I don't want to confuse you.Don't be discouraged. Dropping a bike is normal, especially for a new rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nell Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I hope so. Part of me just feels like this isn't the bike for me. Once I've passed mod 2 I don't think I'll ride one ever again I promise you will adapt to it and the weight of it - you'll find any big bike a heavy lump after a tiny ybr - you should try my bandit or my OH's 20kg heavier than my bike gsx650f Did you do your mod 1 on the same sort of bike? Presumably you must have been ok to have got through to be able to do your mod 2? You'll be ok, the drop has knocked your confidence which is understandable.
