This was the very first time I ever rode a motorcycle , this was my crash course in learning to shift gears and stopping . After spending 20 minutes practising both shifting and emergency stopping I went for a ride on city streets. I found this bike to be a pleasure to operate. Now compared to my yamaha scooter this has a little longer wheel base and 250 lbs more weight. I was a little nervous on the cornering which I will practise until I feel comfortable. The best part of riding this bike was knowing the rules of the road , which lane position to take , passing cars , lane changing, all this was learned from riding my yamaha scooter.
