This is where I'm going to sound very old but back in the dim distant past all I can say is the year I had zooming around on my 50cc and the next 6 months on my Suzuki GP100 were invaluable. I know a huge amount has changed since 1980 something, including much better training, but I really learnt so much in that time without having the power to get me into serious trouble and am glad of that time I had now looking back.

A very difficult decision not helped by the ridiculous legislation learners have to endure now.

Maybe a chat with someone like Mark Able would help? I dont know him myself but I know he's helped a lot of bikers here and certainly seems very helpful.
