My challenge? Keeping the speed close to the speed limit. I love speed, not so much top end, but I love to corner quickly and full throttle it out if turns.

i started very young in dirt so i didn't have many physical challenges with riding but from teaching guys to ride i would say the two biggies were LEANING in a turn and putting down their feet when they stop.

Do people really forget to put their feet down?

dude I had one guy who seriously for two weeks I could never stop next to him, over he would go, at least twice per day. when he finally got it we went for a bit of a training ride. stopped at an intersection near a construction site. yep nervous with people watching, man down again. he still rides and has never had a bad wreck but it sure took awhile to get him going. LOL

Sorry FN I couldn't help it.

Corners! They're not natural feeling on a sportbike when you start out. That and getting over target fixation almost caused some embarassing low speed crashes.

Once I got over that, its been golden.
