I started riding after a 15 year break. I am riding my old 2002 M750. I had it totally tuned, new tires, and purchased new gear. I’ve spent a couple of months in city traffic and parking lot practice. I’m confident with the slow maneuvers and city traffic but not doing well at speeds above 45, and I slow down too much approaching curves that are sweeping and easy. Part of the issue I’m running into is the gearing. I can go 45 in third and the gyro effect makes me feel planted. When I do into 4th the revs drop way down and that shakes my confidence for some reason. Any advice? I’m gripping the tank and trying to remind myself to look down the road. It’s a bit hard to practice highway riding as I feel I’m creating a hazard.
