Believe it or not! By riding a smaller motorbike, you can actually become smoother, quicker and faster. If you want to learn how to ride a bike properly, after you strap on your leather motorcycle gloves, it's easier to ride a slower bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow! Besides, riding a slower bike makes you appreciate a big bike more.
Now, after you prepare yourself with all the protective gear from leathers to leather motorbike gloves, you can take a slower bike to the limit, and that is when you master the throttle control and feel the balance, with the back end sliding BUT with you still being in control. Twisting the throttle with motorcycle gloves in full control is a good feeling!
When your slower bike is on the limit you will value your corner speed, concentrate more on your line and less on braking, appreciate the smoothness because the small bikes are more nimble in the corners.
A 1000cc rider may even ask you if HE was SLOWING YOU DOWN in the corners! That's also good feeling!
Whilst you have this ultimate control in the corners you can look further ahead, because looking ahead is a sure sign that you know what's goin' on! Your motorcycle gloves are in charge! This will also teach you about momentum, because smaller bikes feel good in the upper range and it can take sooo long to get there if you lose that momentum on a slower bike. That way you can rely on the slower bike's torque (force or energy) to get up to speed.
So, the idea is not to spend a lot of time grabbin' too much throttle with your motorbike gloves. On a slower bike, if you do grab a fistful, there's less chance of you lifting the front wheel and ending up with your embarrassed backside on the asphalt and you scratching your helmet with your motorcycle gloves.
Besides, if you do drop it, it's less expensive than a big bike!
