I reckon that as a highly experienced alpine descender, race car helmsman and man of a certain age and cleverness you’ll master the controls on your first go no bother.
There are people who really can’t, as you’ll probably see when you do your CBT, but I don’t think that’ll be you.
After that see how you feel, I just wasn’t comfy on a 125 and was instantly happier on the 600.

I've received quite a lot of conflicting advice about whether to do CBT and potter around on a 125 for a while or do direct access and go straight for a larger bike. Geoff Northcott (remember him?) says go straight for a 600 (a cruiser not a sportsbike) while another friend who's an experienced biker says I should go for a 125 just to get used to the controls on a bike which will forgive the occasional fuckup when it comes to gears, clutch and brakes etc.
At the moment it's all hypothetical as until Cycliste removes both the Minor and the Ginetta I've got nowhere to put the Poxy Fury and so nowhere to keep a bike other than outside.
You sure you're not confusing me with someone else?
