Be sure to spend more time practicing low-speed operation as this is where it'll get hairy on a sport bike, and in the City, this is where you'll spend a lot of your time.
If you haven't taken any MSF courses, I highly recommend doing so. I have students who've ridden for many years come to the course and comment on how much they learned... often to their surprise - not everything can be learned simply by doing. Good Luck !!!

Listen to this man! I took the MSF basic class a couple weeks after picking up my scooter. I learned a lot, and got my riding life off to a good start. Even if you've ridden for years, you need to take this class. As mentioned, low speed skills are something a lot of people don't pick up just by doing.
We can ALL learn more.
BTW, I had fun, and I was the only one in my class to scrape a footpeg!
