You're so right about the slow speed stuff, though. I think this is the often overlooked skill of riding. |
Within a club we belong to there's a woman who got her license last year and bought a Buell Blast and at 500cc that was a good starter bike. The bike was dropped a couple of times last year in slow speed and gravel corners. She bought an 1100cc Yamaha at the bike show this year and had even more trouble on corners, dropping it in a 30km corner as well. Power just means you can be going faster when you have an "Oops".
Again, just my opinion and it's not like I'm an expert either.
