You are wrong. In the real world there tends to be a lot of traffic on the roads so slow speed control is essential to making good progress in heavy traffic which is pretty much the whole point of commuting on motorcycles.


Yep, 100% agreed.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I struggle with slow speed turning too.

I'd love to practice, but one drop of the bike could be very costly

Crawling around with a pillion on board is a good way to train for slow speed stuff IMO.
