Thank You for stating that "TriumPhil." I plan on getting plenty of practice and learning along the way. I will be level-headed in the approach because I have ZERO need to show off. I just want to respect and enjoy the ride and the road. I'm looking at motorcycle as being an ongoing learning.
 
Welcome from Down Under,
In OZ we have the LAMS licensing system restricting novices to lower performance motorcycles generally with a engine capacity of less than 660cc or 150Kw per tonne power ratios some 250s exceed this output , draconian as it sounds it stops Novices jumping on a ZX14/ Busa type bikes with lethal results, just take it gently mate , over confidence is the enemy of a lot of newbies who haven't developed the automatic reflexes to unexpected incidents whilst riding, on a charity ride a couple of years ago I saw a returned to biking older guy(on a Harley) "had me license since I was a kid type " run into the back of a car with both legs trying to stop the bike at 60Kph without using the brakes it happened too quick for him to "think" about using the brakes
end of lecture from an old guy who has had his license since being a kid but always had a bike or two to ride but still learning.
 
New to motorcycles and got an R3? Well, based on your size it's a good choice, but be very careful! And ease into advanced roads and maneuvers! Perhaps take some riding courses if you can. Ride like everyone is out to kill you! Get out in the country And away from traffic every chance you can...Welcome to the forum!
