  • @Ramsaye I'm a bit embarrassed to say I already have an 890 Duke GP waiting for me in the garage. I wanted a naked so the wind blast helps keep my speeds sensible and although it's challenging asthetically, the position is perfect for me and critically I got a massive discount in the quiet winter lull a couple of months ago. Probably way too much bike for a newb but I didn't want to have something I'd grow out of quickly.

    Further down the line I'd also like to test ride a CRF300 Rally either to compliment it for year round/mild off road use or as a straight replacement. But for now I just want to go get some miles under the belt and learn what I want/don't want from a bike.

  • A 990 SMT was my first bike. You'll be alright.

    Thanks. Maybe I've got a chance of successfully negotiating the first corner then. The training and test process has taught me that it's the rider that controls the speed, not the engine HP.
