Yeah this. Whilst I can chug along in 4th, there’s just too much chug before any reaction. Im not sitting at 10k, but I ain’t sitting 500 above idle.
Surprised they advocate peg scraping IAM. What’s your view on it so far?

It’s very good, there’s some course material and theory but after that it’s riding. Being followed by a good rider who stops you for a debrief every so often. Corners, overtakes and general flow has all improved massively.

I did some IAM. I'd recommend it. All about making safe but good progress.
My driving instructor back in the day was IAM instructor too (and police trainer), was great. My experience is they're all solid good people and love riding or driving. Good group to hang out with.

Revvy is good, my bike will change to third at 25 and chug along but these days I’m holding second until 40 and using the top half of the tacho. I’ve been doing my IAM training since the start of the year and this is one of the things they teach you, holding a more responsive gear they call it. They’re also keen on getting the pegs down in the corners and using the whole tyre.
