From R125 To R6?

The problem with msf type courses, you dont always get to ride your bike. Which doesnt help much. You need to know what your bike is capable of.

Pointless learning to emergency stop on a fz6, then you jump on your 1600cc cruiser and try the same thing

Agreed every bike is different, but the principles are all still there. You should learn your bike before going nuts on it, practice U turns, figure 8s and emergency stops in a parking lot before taking your bike out on the road ideally. It's no different to changing bikes.

just drive them in, dont be flicking the bike around on new tyres.

as for the vid, Why stop it half way through the crash, it breaks the flow.

Told you I would upload a raw version, even put it in slowmotion the second time. enjoy :3

I made a video on my channel talking about the jumps between 250 to 600 to 1000. By the sounds of it that it would relate to your query. Here.

TL;DW: Basically the biggest jump you are going to feel is from your first bike to that 600. The jump from 600 to 1000 is waaaaay overrated.

You would have felt much worse starting on a 250
