having just had the 600 mile service done I still need to keep the revs down but there was still plenty of it when I came out of the corners.

I bought a new Duc from AMS and asked Stuart how I should break it in......his answer was however you plan on riding it.  I think he knows his stuff too.  Alot of peeps will tell you to break it in hard........I didn't want to let them down.  It worked fine for me.  When it comes to  [moto] never be afraid to ride it.  Why else did you buy it?  To show it off at the CC to your friends, or to get your rocks off? 

FYI......I get my rocks off everytime I ride.  unfortunately, I think McKraut got his off on my wifes bike.... Still trying to figure out if it was the bike, the tank pad or other... for some reason she didn't want to wash it.       I need to quit typing when I'm drinking after a BS week.....

... my first bike since my NSR 125 when I was 17 in England ....

Oh man those are F'n sweet! Ive always wanted one of those... one of the "R" models. Im guessing yours was kitted for street riding? I DO have an NSR50R though and it is tons of fun, going to race it in the MiniMotoGP next year

Sure you dont mean the 250? NSR125 was mostly begginer bikes nothing like the Aprilia RS125 or Cagiva Mito 125...

It was a beginner bike, it's what I learnt to ride on.  In the UK, if you are under 21 you have to learn on a 125 with power restrictions (16.6bhp), once you pass your test you can ride any bike restricted to 33 bhp, if you are older that 21 you can learn on bigger bikes but these need to be restricted to 47bhp.

i know that in Greece  where i come from you ride 125cc bikes or up to 33hp or 43hp  dont remeber exactly till 21yold then unlimited

when i got my lisence back in 1992  we didnt have  size or horsepower restrictions... but my first bike was a Honda CB400Superfour and the NSR pictured...

Andy just said it all. Given what you said about your experience and skill level (too say nothing of more $$$ for the bigger bike) I think Andy and Chris are right on target with Tommy's suggestion of a used S2R1000 (or S2R800!) being a real close second. Way too many people out there limping around with steel plates in their legs who "bought over" their skill levels. Absolutley no shame or insult to your manhood (or womanhood... is that a word?) by starting with a 600+cc bike. Makes tons of real world sense. Hell, Jacob could out ride all of us on a stock 695 with deflated tires!!! [moto]

Good luck with the bike search. Join us at a get together bike or not and get to know us... if you dare!!
