Wheelie hooligans!!!
Lots of people get them for their 1st bike cos so easy to ride. Step Dad had one when he got back into riding a few years ago. Was silly quick! Now has a ZZR1100 and its like going into warp speed
Looks like a good bike

I found the training hard. I think the hardest bit was remembering everything. Such as use the bus lanes during certain times, do lifesavers etc...
But the actual test went really well and it goes quickly (about 40 mins)
I did my cbt last year and have been riding around on a 125cc geared bike since.
Just stay clam and relaxed and remember if you make a mistake its quite likely the examiner may have missed it so carry on as if nothing has happened.
Good luck

What do you mean about the oil cooler? I can't figure out how the oil from the engine can land on the rear tyre 
I'm guessing the oil cooler is at the front but how can all the engine oil get to the rear?
