I would practice the throttle blipping off the bike first, before you try it for real, like when you are on the train, then just take your time when running through it. Slow and smooth is the best way to try and learn things. I have only just starting doing this, but it makes a big difference, especially as I had a tendency to dump the clutch and leave my rear wheel sliding about.

Dont worry about it feeling fast just now. Give it 12 months and it'll feel slow and you be looking for a mods or a 999!

Cheers
