My DAS at last

[kenny]

after having 2 years riding on L's i'm finally putting in for my DAS for next week with a 3 day course (2 days training and 1 day on test) but i have never rode a big bike before i.e 500cc only my NSR125RR, i was wondering how different it is to handle a bigger bike with the weight difference im fully able to do all my manuevers like turn in the road and emergency stop and slow moving just wondering wot im i to expect on the 500cc

Any thoughts!

I went from a 125 to a 500 , took me a couple of weeks to get used to it, much heavier, harder to get in and out the garage.

However bike much better handling, but I found it harder to U Turn etc.

The exceleration after the 125 felt frightening.

And you go from sort of keeping up with traffic, ie my top was about 60 on a bike, to moving very quickly.

I would find it hard to go back to a 125, but I miss its fuel consumption and cheap tax.

What I don't miss about the 125, is the Drum Brakes, Top Speed, The fact the choke was in a stupid position (ie not on the bars), the fact that you had to turn the fuel off, what a farce that was.

But I like the 125 and it was a proper bike and not a ped.
