Hi , new rider here too but only went as daft as a k5 750, having been away from riding for 30 years, but previously was a two stroke LC 350 RG and RGV 250 rider , and thought the muscle memory would soon kick in, not sure what a 1000 will be like but to me the 750 is like sitting on a nuke, 3rd gear under the powerband like its on the dge of a huge surge at 6k....and im ticking along at 88, dont have a clue how anyone can say "how do i get more power?" i pretty much think 6th on lanes is pointless as im just not going to use the bit up to 188mph...
