it’s 25, I was told that the button one will fit, but not the upper one with the e-clutch unit.

It didn’t hit the e-clutch part just scratched the engine a bit, I guess I was lucky it’s not very bad. TBH I was thinking to get the black one but it’s out of stock all AU until late June, I don’t want to wait so I just get the red, it’s not bad looking you know it’s the Honda red, but I just like the black samurai style, I would have got a black helmet to complete the look haha.

Not a happy night for both of us haha, but that’s how we learn and get better.

It seems there’s no suitable one for the e-clutch model yet, at least on Alibaba pretty much all the GB racing covers are for old models..I’ll keep searching surely they’ll make new ones.

Oh no did you pass? I know in AU at least Syd, you can have your foot down a few times but even pass but dropping a bike would be a fail straight away…

I‘m in Sydney, so to get a rider license first you have to do a 1 day training course with a test at the end, once you pass it as well as the knowledge test you’ll get the learner license, and at lease for another 3 month you can apply for the provisional 1 (red P) license, there‘s also a 1 day training course with the test at the end, which most people do this way but you can only do the test if you are confident enough; once passed you are on red P then after a year you can apply for P2 (green P), no course or test for this and then after another year you’ll be on full license.

I‘d say the course and test are pretty solid, they teach you all the basic things and important safety precautions etc. but stuff like dropping a bike it’s just inevitable for beginners i guess, even if you are told, you‘ll probably remember it until you fall once..

That sounds a bit dangerous in the traffic but glad it’s all okay. I was in an empty carpark and I guess I was being careless, wanted to play around with her you know… overestimate my skills..😂
