Nice one sharing brother. That's the reality of riding motorcycle. I'm glad to add my self to your channel. Greatings from the Philippines. Ride Safe always brother
My tip would be to ride a standard motorcycle with brakes made for road riding, not track riding. They are also much easier to turn at slow speeds and have a much tighter turning radius than a bike with clip ons. Inline 4s are good starter engines. They may have a lot of top end power, but they are generally very docile if you don't nail the throttle. Twins make more power at lower rpms and smaller throttle inputs can thrust you back causing you to twist the throttle harder. Some call it "whiskey throttle." Often ends badly.
The 4RR is my daily rider. It is the lowered version and I have not had any issues with it (not unlocked). I just wanted to try the bikes I see in the garage - they are definitely out of my league due to my skill level.
I wish there would be a upright with a small inline 4. The 4RR is the best of both worlds, even it has clip on’s the riding position is rather upright. You are spot on with your assessment of the inline 4 vs the parallel twins. The Aprilia did just what you described vs the 4RR rather being docile down low.
I did look down in a corner at the shift lever, then looked up as I entered the grass! I slid to a graceful stop, then fell over while riding Mr Geo’s Kawasaki. We agreed not to speak of this remember!! 😂
This is why I rode in the back of the group. The folks behind me were the “baby sitters” that were helping block intersections and keeping the group together and of course Mr. Geo beside me.
You have to start somewhere and we are doing it rather responsibly, the plan was originally to fall back if she did not feel comfortable but she did good!

Sh@t happens. Stay safe. Just need a more droppable bike.
lol Steve ... that is the Kawasaki, except she is not dropping hers, may have dropped mine ... ;)

@@HeartofaBunny ooops ?
Stay the hell away from group rides until your mistakes are almost non-existent.. you mess up, then take out others.
