That's a 2014 R nineT.. 1170cc.. perfect to learn on :rolleyes:

I do know someone who would gladly volunteer to coach her :D :D
Flop and drops don't count when your learning and also teach you a lot about balance, braking and throttle control.
Good girl for getting out there and doing it,

Nice...

Honestly, i don't think a BMW is that bad to learn on if you can afford to drop it!

Yes, it is big and heavy, but that engine is like a freaking tractor! It doesn't have any nervosity, no hidden power after a certain rpm, no hidden surprise whatsoever.

Compared to a 4 cylinder 600, which is what most of Europe learns on, it is a lot more straight forward to ride, at least that was my impression trying a GS.

yeah my dads r1150r is stupid forgiving. lots of torque, hard to stall, super smooth, etc.

only thing about beemers is that they are quirky, like the shift into first on some models. clutch, begin shift, slowly release clutch, finish shift, fully release clutch and go. the bike will not go into first with the clutch fully engaged from neutral, nor will it go into 2nd.
