Grandson has already taken the course and read the Proficient Motorcycling book. Did well in the course and was riding a few bikes prior to getting on the 650. He had been riding the 650 around the neighborhood(gated) for about a month before the lay down. The Assocation installed speed bumps just before every stop sign. I think he was worried about the new speed bump and tensed up. I agree the weight of the 650 did not help. The 650 is a nice looking bike and he did not want to lay it down anymore. Both of us decided to drop down in weight for awhile. We decided on the GZ and he was doing fine until the bike had issues. Now we just need to get it going so he can get back to riding.
