So wannabebiker, what have you got/are getting? I got a CBR650F. Got 12 hours of intensive 1on1 training over 3 days on track and so on. I feel fairly confident and the start-stop traffic of Bangkok has taught me the game of the clutch quickly. Only thing I'm not a 100% confident with is lane splitting. I prefer to ride next to the curb passing cars, between cars is too.. tight with that bike. Got about 200 miles down so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure its kilometres rather than miles, just reading so much motorcycle stuff this month that miles is stuck in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful tip/ trick is to utilize the back brake to regulate speed when filtering in traffic.....this enables you to keep revs high enough and don't have to clutch it all time ...as well as stabilizing the bike.. ...and hope you were instructed about counter-steering technique ?...

I watched youtube videos and rented a scooter to test it out. its so counter-intuitive that its hard for me to implement in my riding on the big bike. Ill have to find someone to teach me that properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have to find someone to teach me that properly.Try and find a quiet road and take it steady, once you get the hang of it it's a good technique to use. There's no substitute for practice.Sent from my SM-G920F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
