As if its bad enuff getting you new car/bike wet for the first time, i realised what its like to feel a real, twitching today. new scoota, nothing amazing, open the throttle, back end went all over the place. Very scarey on 2 wheels. HAd it b4 on my old bike, but this was totally different. Scared the hell out of me. Dont wanna crash my new toy.
New motor or bike, first time int he wet on/in it, b carefull. tendency to snap back at you when u dont expect it

Manholes and oil in the wet - deadly. As is that black slick stuff they join cracks with...

Nahhh, u just have to keep your eys wide open. Your attention span on the bike far outways anything in a car. U need to have your eyes everywhere.
i.e, every day occurance. My journey home from London 2nite.
I had 4 different people walk out thru the traffic on me. 1 even started an argument, even though his pedestrian light was red. He lost and wakled off
3cars pull out, sorry, majority are old black men or young black men with gold chains or old business men in their mercs n beemers.
got thru that, on the a2, had 2 people cut me up
got off the a2, women on right hand side of lane, no indication (about 2 cars widths wide this junction), i came up the inside cautiously, what did she do, cut straight accross me and turned left.
Thats just on the way home!!

Id personally go for the YZ125/250 crosser - its a great build and more tuneable than the others in its class.
