    My first bike after 35 years of abstinence was a 12 y.o.Honda CB 500 S which cost £750.

    It could do 110 mph, 0-60 just over 4 secs and (after putting on a +2 front sprocket) was happy all day at m-way speeds.

    When I swapped for the 955i, whilst being bigger, heavier, faster etc. the transition was seamless. No problem whatsoever.

    It's all in the ass and the right wrist.

    Addendum...dum, dum...Dum, Dum...

    My very first ride on the yellow peril was from the seller, in S. Wales, back to Bristol.

    High winds, horizontal rain and over the Severn Bridge. Baptism of fire, but it worked.
