| get some decent tyres, find an empty round about/slip roads, and just chuck the bike into it! box hill to bury hill has some nice roads, nearly 100mph bends aswell | |

| I think over time you will build up that confidence to place your bike into corners neatly. For someone who has had a 600cc for under a month you are a very good rider My best suggestion would be to get more miles on the CBR and over time you will get a feel for the capabilities of your bike also i dont know if you have done already, but you can adjust the suspension settings on your bike for your style of riding, and aparently it makes a fairly big difference. Im sure the more experienced superbike riders here will know a thing or 2 about that! | |

| I have to agree with Shiver, it is worth paing a pro to sort it out (I will get a number for you) it costs £50 to my memory, HOWEVER I did mine myself, and we could always do yours. I will post some tutorials on the forum. | |

| Sundays are pretty flexible for me, except the 3rd May. So you let me know when you will have the time and I'll work around that | |
