Jon:
most of the roadrace experts seem to support the idea that a good-handling bike
that IS NOT OVERPOWERED will teach you the most about roadracing in the shortest
amount of time. The baby Ninja may well be the perfect choice-- I know
"Ardunbill" is mighty high on his.
I'll be getting some armored leathers and frame sliders before I take one of the
schools on my little gixxer. (At my age, it takes me too long to heal-- and I'm
getting tired of mending fairing pieces.)
Good luck at the Superbike School!
