    How do you know that until you get to the end????



 
  Pesonally, I bought a 600cc Yahahahaahah the day after I passed my test on a 125 and had never ridden any form of motorised bike before I took the 5 day course.  I survived.  It's not all about your riding - it's a lot to do with awareness of others on the road and the B4astards who don't see you - Take good care and buy the bike of your dreams - whatever turns you on.  Just get a red one cos they're safer.   
 :P
