I think it depends on your confidence and how good the training course was. My training course was great. I think it added up to about 5 full days of riding (all on a 125).
My first ride on my new ninjette (after taking the course) was through busy London streets and then a few hours later I rode 60+ miles home in the dark and rain! I avoided the motorways (that's our version of freeways) the entire journey. My main difficulty wasn't getting used to the new bike or controlling the bike... it was navigating! What should have been a 2 hour ride ended up taking just over 4 hours. I kept getting lost!
