I'm a new rider, having driven the Burger 650 for 6 weeks now. Prior to that it was a 50cc scooter. Here's the deal. I'm taking the MSF class in 2 weeks (so that will make it 2 months of riding the 650 by then).
My question is this... the MSF provides you with motorcycles, not scooters. There's a clutch on the left handlebar as opposed to a brake which I've become VERY used to. Under your right foot there's a brake!!
Has anyone else taken the MSF class after having ridden nothing but scooters with no clutches and no foot brakes? Is this going to be a problem?
Next problem. The 650 is a BIG bike!! Am I going to feel a lot less stable on one of those 125 or 250cc bikes the MSF class provides? I'm wondering if I should use my own bike (650)... but then again I'd rather not be the center of attention - it wouldn't be fair to the other students to distract them from their primary concentration.
