Go for it Ali!...Good luck for Monday!


Dennis is right...Any bike is only as good as the rider. But some of the Jap bikes fool you into thinking that you are quicker than you really are...
I passed, and left it 4 months before I got the duke 750.
I just knew I wanted it and was damn well going to succed on it...4 drops later and an off at cadwell and I still am learning so much about me and the bike. I know I will grow out of it eventually and am hankering after a 748 but I have plenty of time. I only passed 18 months ago. After riding the 750 I feel so confident I think I could get on any bike and have a go due to the gruntiness that a Duke has whether it is a 2V or 4V...I had a go on my Bro-in laws zxr and caned it! It is only a 400 but had such immense power that I was taken in ...after thinking about it, it was a real easy chair approach. The bike just took off and left my brain behind!
No...go for the Duke...it'll give you so much confidence, get some extra training, do a track day and then see how you progress from there!
Oh! Initially I did my CBT 6/8 weeks before I took my test and wanted to progress from a scooter!
Set your sites on your goal and GO FOR IT!
