I wouldn’t compare myself to the others. In my class, we had multiple people who were already riding (without a license) and were just taking the class as a formality.
I tried a bike with GP shift and forgot how confusing it was to learn how to shift. Neutral is difficult to find on some bikes (KTM). Some will let you shift right through neutral into 2nd. And the friction zones are different as well. I’ll slip the clutch a little more on demo bikes just to be safe.
Basically what I’m saying is if you’re used to your bike, it will take a while to relearn on a different bike. It may actually have hurt you to get used to the ninja. Now you have two things to learn: the bike and the material.
