Question for the experienced riders.

A question and I gotta vent at the same time...

I'm still getting used to the CBR600RR, especially in turns. One of two things always happens.

1. As I approach the turn, I start thinking about the mechanics of turning. I start concentrating on scrubbing off speed before the turn, rolling on the throttle, leaning, body position, the whole thing. I end up either going slightly wide or making corrections mid turn. I end up all

2. Sometimes I just turn. My body takes over, and does everything almost without thought. Everything just seems to happen seamlessly and seemingly effortlessly. I complete the turn and am all

My previous rides have been a Honda Shadow 600 and a Honda Silverwing 600 Maxi-Scoot. The CBR is a completely different animal from either of those sleds. I get out and ride and practice whenever I can.

I'm wondering how long it will be until I'm no longer and am most of the time.

How long did it take for you guys?
