I have just passed my test in January this year and straight away rushed out like a bull and bought a R1 I though these were the mutts nuts.
I am now in a position where I have a bike I am Shxx scared of and every time I ride it I think the worst could happen.
These bike's are in sane but only now am I starting to realise that the bike will only go as fast as you want it to go.
Now! I am 38 years old and have over 20 years driving expereince and also a truck driver (hgv 1), Even with all this experience I would advise that you think very long and very hard about this type of bike.
When you do manage to get out on the road try and enjoy it instead of trying to keep up with everyone else you will enjoy riding the bike a lot more.
Hope this help's.
Paul
