Redbirds has got it right. But I have to add, before you go too far work on your low speed manoeuvring skills. After the Bandit, it will be different; nice while you have it under control, but if it starts to lean over it is not easy to stop the drop. Teaching you to suck eggs I'm sure but at slow speed, in driveways and tight spots, learn to use your body on the outside of the turn and the rear brake, the front brake is a "biter" and can cause you to lose it.

Don't be put off by that, once again, 'Birds is right, this bike is easy and feels light on the go.

Cheers
