I learnt to ride on a 125 Standard-type bike. I found that performing U-turns was a piece of cake

<-- HIGHLY relevant ok! The bunny is doing u-turns with a cake!

I've only ridden my Ninjette about a dozen times, so I shouldn't beat myself up about it, but I find u-turns really difficult on it.

On the 125 I went really slowly during the manoeuvre; about walking pace. I also kept the 125 almost completely upright (no lean). I feel like the Ninjette wants to tip over during the manoeuvre, whereas the 125 felt completely stable. The Ninjette also seems to have a much bigger turning circle.

Do you think it has to be done faster on the Ninjette so that I can get in more lean so that I can get a tighter turning circle.

Any thoughts or advice is welcome
